The British Indian Ocean Territory is an archipelago halfway from Africa to Indonesia with six atolls and over 1000 individual islands, all but one of which is current uninhabited. A small native population of Chagos islanders that once inhabited Diego Garcia, one of the larger islands, were forced to relocate to Mauritius and the Seychelles from 1967 to 1973. Since then, Diego Garcia has been converted into a joint US-UK military base. In other words, the tourist infrastructure isn’t quite here, and might not be for some time.

If your checking this out, then you are probrably military, if you get the opportunity, charter a boat and go fishing, the Tuna are a riot.  Dont worry about cleaning and prepping, there are plenty of beach bums that will do it for you, you might have to give up a little of your catch.  Go to turtle bay, awesome!!
Good tip?

Well, good luck getting there. It is primarily a military installation. Some civilians work there. Aircraft manufacturers sometimes send in engineers and advisers. It is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled places on earth. It is difficult to wrap one's mind around an island so tiny in an ocean so huge.
