I drink 2 bottles of water, 2 cups of coffee, a diet Mt. Dew, a sugar free redbull
Man that's hell amount of caffeine! How do you manage with your breath-hold?
I go caffeine free at least 12hrs before the dive!
roflScott, you really didn't need to share that.I take a leak in my wetsuit as soon as Im ready to get in the water
Sugar-free Mountain Dew & Red Bull? Caffeine but not sugar.:hmm I drink a lot of tea & coffee at work, so I usually have a cup of tea and a cup of coffee (no sugar) before I go - keeps me alert during the drive. Milk contributes to sea sickness so perhaps I should forego the milk too -- or perhaps follow your example and hit the Mountain Dew & Red BullI drink 2 bottles of water, 2 cups of coffee, a diet Mt. Dew, a sugar free redbull, then shoot alot of Afrin up my nose, all while listening to Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb on repeat. I realize that this is not common practice but it works well for me.

After dive food drink has been a bit hit or miss for me in the past. I've started taking a sandwich and a piece of fruit and maybe a Penguin choc. biscuit or granola bar to replenish glycogen. But a packet of crisps (or 2) [Am.E. salty potato chips] is really appealing post-dive -- probably craving salt. I tried original Lucozade after the last trip. I don't usually buy fizzy soda pop but Lucozade seemed to slip down without fuss, it is not over-sweet and the flavour is more subtle than I expected/remembered (last time I had it was probably 40 years ago, when sick...
Right after the dive: I have to get my strawberry milk, springles chips & a coca cola zero or diet seven up (that's after being like 5-6hrs in the water). ...
Youtube - great idea. I bought a Georgio Dapiran DVD last year (it's v. good) and used to love watching and listening to it - it's in Italian, which I don't understand, but I find it quite musical/evocative. I'd forgotten all about it this year -- I should probably take a refresher look.My ritual... I start watching spearfishing clips on youtube. and I will wake up by myself at 3 or 4am without even setting up the alarm....
On the way to the dive site (2hrs of drive with 1hrs of offroading): I have to listen to my favorite rock bands: Mix of Creed, Stained, Linkin Park, some metal; nightwish, epica, depeche mode etc...
...
on the way stop by Subway (healthy fast-food restaurant) and grab a 6'' Tuna or chicken breast sandwish.
Arrive home: A 3hrs nap, and the evening is for my madame...
