| Chagos Archipelago |
|
The Existence of these islands is known to a small
group of people, mainly sailors and researchers. They are located about 20
degrees south of 'The Maldives'. They are totally uninhabited except for a
few people that control an American military base on the Island 'Diego
Garcia'. Otherwise all other islands are laid in peace as a world national
park. But who owns this paradise?? They belonged to the French before the
war, and was run as a slave colony, however after the war they came under
English flag, and has remained so until now. Since nobody lives there I
can’t explain how fascinating the diving is there. Completely untouched
by human hands. And that's why the sailors call it the last paradise on
earth. If you want to get there you must sail for at least 5 days,
starting out from 'The Maldives', on your own boat that is since there is
no commuter traffic to or from the Islands. I had the pleasure of spending
5 weeks on Chagos Archipelago, doing nothing but exploring. I found an old
slave village that had everything a village needs: Prison, cemetery,
bakery, church and all in ruins. If you should have any questions fell
free to mail me. In all my travelling this one was the most fascinating. |
