Dive 2084 8-24-2019 Kings Beach Newport RI Solo

A mostly sunny day, light gusting NNE winds incoming tide, air temp 73F, water surface temp 70F, @Max Depth 66F max depth 26FSW 39min BT 60 min in the water. Some of the dive at the end was in less than 5FSW, I was still on scuba but the PDC was done with the dive. Scup was the fish of the day, saw dozens them or the same 12 over and over. They do tend to hang around divers. Didn't see any tropical fish or seahorses that's why the shallow water.
Visibility was 10' sometimes, less at other times. The current was enough to move one along but swimming against it wasn't very hard. This was dive 2 for the Royal AquaMaster double hose, it performed as expected and without issues.
