About Diego Garcia Island
Diego Garcia Island is a remote and pristine tropical coral atoll situated in the central Indian Ocean, forming part of the British Indian Ocean Territory. Known for its unique horseshoe shape and a rich marine environment, it might appear as an ideal spot for various water activities. However, its primary role as a major joint UK-U.S. military base means public access is severely restricted, limiting its availability for general recreational purposes and contributing to its air of mystique.
