I'm with the 'eat after the dive' crowd - I've never dived more than about 90 minutes at a stretch, and I can do that without food. Don't see the attraction or the point of consuming food or drink under water.

Do consider that some dives have twice or more the duration of yours.
 
Somehow I doubt that the zip lock will stay intact at 3at pressure, especially when you have food inside.
Ziplocks are fine at a lot of depth. As long as there's mostly liquid inside (or soft food) they are good to go.

Point taken. My cutoff would be more than 4 hours for an activity as low-intensity as Scuba. I don't take food on my (high intensity) bike rides if I'm out for less than 2 hours. Fluids yes, food no.
 
The reason that at 62yo I still go in in the middle (decreasingly so) rather than out is that life long food has not been of great importance to me. I usually have something better to do than eat or prepare to eat or to cleanup after eating. I realize that eating and consumption is a central theme in some people's lives, just not mine. I do love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I will greatly miss them in the next world I suspect. But, I have many more to consume before then. But, unfortunately, I do not think they would do so well underwater. And that is just as well. N
