I don't suffer from sea sickness normally. But when I was doing my AOW a couple years back the instructor had us do some final readings while en route to our first dive. All I remember of that trip is putting on 1 piece of gear -- running to the side and throwing up -- putting on another piece and repeating the dash. The 'chum' was attracting fish so it made some people happy...
Flash forward to now and I don't get sea sick on large boats or ships but as soon as I am in a wetsuit on a boat the heaving starts. It doesn't end until I am under the water or back on land. I am worried about live aboards because I don't know how stable they are since I have no frame of reference.
I don't mind suffering for my addiction; but I would not enjoy myself if I had to go more than a day or two. And I don't live in an area that offers overnight live aboards so I can't 'blow' a weekend testing it.
Does anyone have similar troubles and what types of solutions did they come up with?
