## Notice

The business has been running since April 2022 and we run trips out to snorkel with the local Atlantic grey seals that surround our beautiful islands. We offer two trips a day and take up to 10 customers per trip to enjoy our clear waters and get up close and personal with some wild Atlantic grey seals. I am looking at purchasing a new vessel to run along side my current vessel to provide snorkelling and wild life conservation trips for schools, Colleges and universities which at this current time I am unable to offer due to being full on the current vessel. This will also add an extra opportunities to take out film crews which often come to the islands to film wild life and nature. Without this new vessel all of the above is unacheiveable due to being full all summer and adding the new vessel will allow more trips to run. We will assess tenders received on lowest compliant Tender.
