Good luck Giles. I do mean it, but the local dive businesses have taken a bit of a hammering recently. Shops going under and boats have changed hands. Like you say, I doubt the sport/rec/tec day charter will help you, it sounds like an expensive boat to maintain. However I know SFA about the commercial/expedition market, so you could have a winner.

Again, good luck,

Adrian

Just a thought - is giving concessions to investors a good idea? It could mean reduced income before you even start making money. A dividend on the profit OTOH would only pay if appropriate.
