There are not enough superlatives to describe this cruise. The area is beautiful and the cruise concept is unique (see the website for what you will be doing), educational, and with the highest possible amount of fun and laughter. The crew, especially Diver Ed and the Captain (his wife) are seriously national treasures. It is their knowledge and personality that... More

Our family took a trip out with Diver Ed last summer (ages 7-65) and we ALL enjoyed it. It was fun, educational and entertaining--not easy to combine all three into a special afternoon! Best of all, we are ALL still talking about it! It even made it into our Christmas letter. Diver Ed's passion for nature and ability to make... More

We have 4 kids ages 8 to 16. Diver Ed dives down into the water and you can see what he sees and hear his commentary via video feed. His patter is corny, aimed at younger kids but my teens tolerated it fine. Diver Ed then comes back into the boat with the sea creatures and allows everyone to touch.... More

I took my 8 year old grandson who was visiting us in Maine. He loved it!! Diver Ed does a great job, very educational, plus, very funny! All the kids, and adults, on the boat seemed to have a great time!

The trip was fantastic- very educational and well as entertaining. Diver Ed and his wife were wonderful. Seeing the sea life in their natural environment up close was awesome and getting to touch and feel them afterward was an added plus. A national park ranger accompanied our trip and spoke on the marine life as well as many other facts... More

To start, they had two giant Newfoundland dogs who were friendly and walked around the boat visiting the passengers. Diver Ed was really funny and actually dived under to bring up really interesting sea creatures, which we then had the opportunity to handle. This is a must do for people with children and people interested in ocean creatures.

I have gone on this trip several times over the last 12 years and it never gets boring. This year my husband and his sister and family went with me and they all had a wonderful time. Couldn't stop raving about how wonderful Ed is with children, how knowledgable he is, how good the crew are and the newphies! What... More

We've heard of this excursion but have never been out with Diver Ed. We took our 3.5 yr. old and he loved it -- he was transfixed by all the activity and certainly understood what was happening. While he was a little young to join the kids up front for the show & tell, he watched every move. DIver Ed... More

Okay, I thought this was a made-only-for-kids attraction. But from the moment we were greeted by Diver Ed at his boat until we said farewell all six of us adults hooted and laughed at the gregarious Ed as he was engaging us above and below (via camera) in an incredible marine ecology experience. yes, we loved his entertaining personality, but...
