Thank you EVERYONE for your input. Boulderjohn, my diving has been through a variety of places around the world (SABA, ARUBA, PHUKET, BELIZE, USA, etc.). Because of the type of work I do, I travel a lot and am away from home, therefore; my diving is about every 4-6 months when I am on a vacation. I am an Advanced Open Water Nitrox Certified Diver.
Honestly though, I don't have an issue with Deep dives - my issue is...why do I start to feel nautious whenever I go out on this one particular boat in NC? I don't get that feeling anywhere else. Matter of fact, I really enjoy deep dives. When I am actually under water, I am fine - for the most part. I do believe though that I need to fine-tune my navigational and line skills for sure for comfort sakes

Again, thank you everyone for your inputs and advice. I agree with many of the posts - "I think I answered my own question."
Honestly, as I stated in the previous post...I don't have an issue with Deep dives.
I enjoy those dives, especially wreck dives. It is just that whenever I go out on this one particular boat,
while going out to sea, I am fine - I start to feel nautious whenever I begin to put my gear on - that's where it hits me!
I mean literally, as soon as I suit up, my body heats up very quickly and I feel nautious. I tried watering myself down, but,
that does not work. When I get into the water, I am fine.
As far as the nervousness goes - yes, it does seem to be a physcological issue. Thought (fear) of my personal equipment malfunctioning while 100 ft underwater or
when I go fossil hunting, not finding my way back...those type of things - all of which can be fixed with some up-to-date training and continuous dives.
Thanks again everyone and happy diving!

I am trying to get a handle on your level of experience. Your profile is very brief. In this sentence you say you have been blessed with the ability to do a lot of diving in many places around the world, but you don't get to dive much. Your profile says you have only 0-24 total logged dives, but you describe doing some relatively advanced diving.
It would be helpful if you could give a more thorough description of your actual dive experience.
