Comments Several questions above don't apply. Black Durgon is a great place to go to just hang out. The accommodations are simple but clean and more than adequate. Al does a great job.

I wish, however, that I had known more about some of the other car rental companies not just the one he promotes (AB Carrental). It cost me a lot more to rent a vehicle than it needed to because my credit card doesn't cover the CWD insurance on trucks. I really did not need a full-blown truck set up -- although a lot of people like them for the shore diving.
