Diving off Christmas Island is staggering, with dramatic drop offs, coral, fish including reef sharks, in 30-40 metre visibility, and 30 C water. Our group were accommodated across from the Extra Divers base, which is next to the Golden Bosun pub - sweet! The boat loads gear and divers from Flying Fish Cove normally, but when the wind made this tricky, the whole operation moved to Ethel Beach. Landslide, red crab migration, coconut crabs, and booby and frigate birds. Food is pricey, but local Malay kitchens were excellent, as was the pub food. An amazing experience, well worth the travel effort.
