I havnt tried anything looking for suggestions. Yes I drink lots of water ,getting sick during a surface interval due to waves.Iwould rather try something besides droping 20' and using my air. thanx for your replyPoor you! I feel for you.
What have you tried? Most seasick remedies work best if you start them the evening before. There are various forms of Dramamine, Bonine, Meclizine, and finally prescription Scolomine patch.
Are you well hydrated? Diving can really dry you out, and that may contribute to queasiness.
Do you find yourself getting during your safety stop? The up and down motion of the waves getting to you? You could drop to 20' to avoid that.
Bottom line, though, is that dealing with sea sickness during the surface interval is too late. If you do toss your cookies, make sure you drink a lot of water. It will help you hydrate, and for most people, throwing up something is better than dry heaves.

I like to drink ginger ale if I'm getting a little quesy, but the very few times I have gotten sick, I was OK once back in the water.
