As I was looking at the aerial photo of Diego Garcia I was wondering if anyone in the military there goes shark fishing.
It looks like you wouldn't have to go very far. -Tom
There is a barge available for deep sea fishing. Many take the occasion to spend the entire day drinking beer and pretending to be fishing; most of them, especially newcomers and TDYer, end up with severe sunburns.
There is "sharks cove" on the island where you can see many types of sharks, naturally you don't want to be in the water there.
It is a very interesting place, but as the T-shirts sold at the terminal say: Happiness is seeing D.G. on the rear view mirror.
I was not stationed there, but would go 3-4 times/yr.
