I posted a trip opening for Fiji on the Trips forum, but I know some of you may not see it over there!

We have an opening on our Fiji trip in June if anyone is interested, see the details here:

Woo hoo!!! I am so excited for the trip. Are any of you going early and staying at Wananavu? Also, have any of you that has done a liveaboard before used the patch for seasickness prevention? If so, what were the pros/cons of using it?

 

[BurBunny]

So far all of us have opted for Wananavu

On the patch, if you've not used it before, definitely test it *well* before you leave, and for several days. Two of the side effects are dry mouth and blurred vision (it's actually a pre-op drug and pretty potent). Many have no side effects, but I'm definitely one who can't use it. Diving is not the way to find out you have negative effects with it.

I use meclizine (the generic form of non-drowsy Dramamine or Bonine) - take it at night, so any drowsy effects are worn off by morning. I also bring lots of ginger for more of a natural remedy if I get a bit sour stomach. These two keep me good to go!
