[AfterDark]

So I suppose ya'll wondering how the diving was, me too. I forgot my boots can't dive without them. I tried to get the strap over the back of the my sandals but no go. Going to try again tomorrow
@Bubblesong @formernuke forget about FTW tomorrow AM go to Newport, Green Bridge should be beautiful tomorrow and the cove is one of the best spots in RI for tropical fish.

I was at Green Bridge yesterday. One of the nicest GB dives in recent memory. We were using our mini DPVs. Fantastic topography, will have video later

I'll be diving the Manasquan Inlet today (Mon 16th), at an excellent spot for Gulf Stream tropical fish.

I went to Ft. Wetherill both Sunday night and Monday morning, but times I was in the water for low slack tide. Visibility was good, as Windy.com showed very little wave action for the 12 hours leading up to my dip. Photos cropped but not altered. Depth is shallow enough for me to stand up out of water.
The first photo is just to show viz this morning, with sunlight playing on sand.
Second photo is four critters from night dive interested in the blue light, left is hermit crab with seaweed, bottom in Northern puffer, right is Pipefish and top is a forward facing hermit crab.
Third photo is puffer with white light. There were a LOT of little puffers.

Had a lovely dive today! Finally got some good conditions!!

Dive 2103 8-16-2021 Green Bridge Newport solo

Did a very nice dive at GB 20'+ vis in the cove and 15' outside, no surge or white caps. Small rollers breaking over the rocks. Snorkeled out to the mouth of the cove and with the bottom visible I descended into 15' of water and headed S towards the eastern most rock formation. When the water got about 25-30FSW deep I turned W and toured the south side of the rocks until I hit 1500psi when I turned N and headed back to cove. Temp @Max depth30 71F! Where's the thermocline? After I entered the cove I stayed under until I passed the first big rock at the north end of the cove where I spotted Mrs.AD snorkeling around. I stalked her using my snorkel for 5 minutes before she spotted me. Good thing I wasn't something else!

Very shallow, couple feet.
Aaaaand I do believe I lost a boot this morning, Monday, in parking lot by benches. Bummer.
Edit: Found it stuck inside my wetsuit, which I put a water hose through to rinse and soak and still did not discover until i turned it rightside out.
