About Diego Garcia time
Diego Garcia keeps one clock.
Diego Garcia operates on UTC+6 with no DST changes, meaning the workday runs on a consistent Indian Ocean beat year-round. For remote teams, this means you've got a full workday overlap with Western Central Africa and most of Southeast Asia, but you'll want to plan calls early to catch Europe's working hours.
