So how abot a few hints on how you got it to cost 1/3 of the
Seychelles? I presume that makes it cheaper than the Bahamas.

When I was at Christmas Island a few years ago I tried to figure out the
cost of a roll-your-own trip (as opposed to a package with Kauffman's or
someone like that). I can't quote any actual numbers, but my impression
was that it could be done much cheaper. I don't think you'd have much
trouble finding a boat and a guide. I'd stay in the town where the boats
launch (can't recall the name), to avoid the truck ride across the
island from the Captain Cook hotel.
