I'm curious about how others here have run smack into this and how they dealt with it. For my part I've gotten seasick twice, both on dive boats. The second time, down in Florida the same day I was supposed to board the Blackbeard's boat, was by far the worse of the two. We had about six or seven hours to kill so we got onto another boat for a mini-excursion somewhere around Miami (you could see the skyline just fine). I had taken Dramamine, but it must not have been enough or something. Great sunny day, but the water was choppy, I was underweighted by the time I jumped in, had a REALLY hard time getting back into the boat, and I got so sick that my hands were numb and cramping up and the only way I could keep from throwing up was to close my eyes and put my head back over the side. I really wonder if I didn't technically have some kind of seizure that day. Funny thing was, later on I was fine, I made it to Blackbeard's in fine form, and I didn't get sick at all during the infamous crossing over to Bimini. I hope I never feel that awful again...such is the price of great diving for some of us, I guess.
