Diving after eating, what to eat between the dives

[James R]

Locally:
I bring my protein shaker cup with the powder in it - just add water, shake it up, and drink
Beef jerky
Ziplock bag with a handful of almonds, roasted no salt
Lots of water

On trips, I try to bring some of the above or just go with whatever the dive op provides as long as it's not crap.

otherwise some snakes or sweets are good

What kind of snakes do you suggest?

A snake is a snake...they all taste like chicken to me.

We have a tradition: fresh or dehydrated pineapple and animal crackers.

Nothing greasy (upset stomach or seasick) or with milk (mucus production).

And plenty of water.

We eat big after all the dives.

Based on these posts, it appears that anything edible is good for between dives.
I have to agree and I can eat a pepperoni pizza before scuba diving with no problem.
Free diving on the other hand.....anything but water and Ensure....I get major heartburn. Better to eat nothing at all or maybe banana and peanut butter.

All white meat tastes like chicken. Except pork. Which kinda blows that theory....

PB&J for me (natural PB and strawberry jelly on whole wheat) and water. Sometimes an apple if no fruit is offered on the dive boat.

I do plenty of water and protein bars as a snack. Some boats have fruit and I will indulge on that too.

Fell in love with these as a kid, and you can still find them at either CVS or Walgreen's. We'll bring enough for both of us to have one during the SI on every dive day, and then bring a softside cooler with some ice so they don't get too mushy.

Along with a Mexican Coke (they are different from the domestic versions), I am in sugar Heaven.

Oreo cookies.....otherwise known in my PPB class as "buoyancy tablets". Whatever works to get them neutral - ha!
