Hi I have just passed my PADI Open water and completed 5 other dives (Two just me and my buddy
Each time I dive after about 20 - 30 mins I start to feel as if I am suffering from Sea sickness/ Motion sickness.
I do suffer from Vertigo and have been known to feel really ill on boats, cars, public transport (Haven't done a boat dive yet). I took a travel sicknes tablet 2 hours before I was due to dive, 1) because of the 2 1/2 hour journey to the Pufin Dive Center (Oban, West of Scotland, 10 meters visibility and rather warm), alas on the second dive the feel appeard and I have to cut short the dive after 17 mins.
I can't be the only one out there suffering from thism, that would make me the most depressed person in the world
can any one give me any hint/tipsthat may help alleviate this horrible feeling.
(Oh if you do feel sea sick on a boat dive, Never lie down or go inside the boat, you boady cannot interperate why there is motion and your surroundings re not moving. If sea sick always look at the horizion this allows your brain to adjust, also if it is really bad and you don't have any aqua straps, try and locate a couple of elastic bands and pop the end of a platsic teaspoon under o that it presses against yur wrist, sorry if you alread know that )
