A popular seasonal tour boat that has operated out of Bar Harbor for more than 20 years is moving to Eastport for the 2021 tourist season. Ed Monat, who fishes in the winter and owns and operates Diver Ed’s Dive-In Theater in the summer, said the reason for the move is pretty simple. Eastport is well known to scuba divers as having some of the best diving on the East Coast, he said, and the sea creatures that he shows to his passengers are more plentiful off Eastport than they are in Frenchman Bay. “We’re bringing it to the place where the wildlife is,” Monat said.
