Then Diver Ed gave a life jacket demonstration, using one of the large dogs.

As the boat headed out to sea, the ranger narrated their unique tour. She pointed out birds, islands, a porpoise gliding along the ocean surface, lobster buoys, views of Mount Desert Island, and other features of the Gulf of Maine.

Somewhere out at sea, near small, rockbound Egg Rock Island, Diver Ed began to don his wet suit and gear.

“He’s getting ready,” Dad said with anticipation.

Captain Evil began slowing the boat down.

But before the much-anticipated events developed further, Captain Evil turned the boat so the passengers could see the lighthouse on the island. The ranger pointed out two bald eagles on the rocks near shore. She also pointed to a dozen or so harbor seals in the water nearby.

“They’re poking their heads out of the water and looking right at us!” Morgan observed.

Soon the boat completely stopped, and the crew lowered an anchor.

Diver Ed stepped in front of the passengers, and while putting on the rest of his gear, he explained, “I need this weight belt to help me go lower in the water. Without it, I would be too buoyant to get to the bottom.”

Diver Ed also pointed out the valve that would regulate the pressure as he dove down and returned to the surface.

Next Diver Ed said a microphone and a camera would accompany him on his journey. “With all this equipment,” he said while looking at a large television screen mounted on the boat above his head, “you’ll be able to see every creature I encounter and all the dangers I face under the sea.” Diver Ed lifted up a camera with lights attached to it, so the audience could see how they would view his underwater adventure.

Then Diver Ed donned his mask and smiled through all the gear.

“Hey, Everyone! Make a clear path for Diver Ed!” Captain Evil called out.
