Something light - Maybe some juice and a piece of fruit or a granola bar.

I try and eat brekkie everyday so always before a morning dive. Fruits and ceral mainly but not a heavy cooked brekkie.
Before a dive I have learnt to stay away from sausage rolls/meat pies but normally a chicken and mayo sandwich goes down well. If on a live aboard I will go for a sandwich or biscuits and a hearty dinner.
Obviously lots of water thru out the day.

Regarding motion sickness:

I am one of those people who literally can't function without breakfast. Diving seems to exagerrate this affliction.

I eat a normal breakfast, that is usually Pancakes when I'm diving. I don't eat many, 2 is about all I can handle and I'll have some OJ with it.
If I eat at McDonald's I'll ask them for an order of scrambled egg's and OJ, that's about all I eat and it is my normal amount. If I dive the local quarry I'll eat my normal breakfast which is a bowel of cereal, usually shredded wheat or Raisin Bran. I eat the amount suggested on the box, sometimes a bit more.
In the end, I eat light meals during the day and never stuff myself. I drink water, soda, basically I drink enough to stay hydrated.
Never felt sick yet.

Hmmm thus far both ow boat dives I have puked at surface. Last time all over my divemaster who was my buddy. Dont get sick while I am under water but as soon as my head pops out, my stomach emptied. Even took ginger candy and bonnies.
First boat dive, i at least watited until the others were down for second dive.
Never got seasick before, now every time I surface I get sick. Thinking I am swallowing air (dont know if I do this or not) or the acid from coffee/soda is the issue. Sure dont know but even if it happens every time, Im still diving.

I eat a pretty big breakfast, (or lunch if it's a night dive). I just avoid grease and foods w/acid, (coffee, orange juice, etc.), and I've never had a problem.
