Anything else is a bounce dive scuby-duby bimble, just to get out of the house.
The thing about arranging something like this mentoring day, is that you have no idea who is going to turn up. If you decide to charter a boat then not only do you have to be mindful of the experience and ability of the interested divers, you are at the mercy of the weather, you do not have the space to show people things like equipment configs and the like. You do not have the relaxed 'can dive any time of the day we like and do as many dives we like' advantage of an inland site, and effectively, you will spend less time doing what the focus of the day is, which is an introduction to DIR for those people who are interested. Bear in mind what the purpose of this day is and it is pretty obvious what kind of venue is best.
If you want to do sea dives, go and do them, but those are days when you have better things to do than go through the intimate workings of a spool, or have a debate over where the switch goes on a light canister
