The other hint on the patch is to switch sides. if you use it on the same side the scopolamine builds up. Some find that if they take the meclazine for a few days before and then continue it works better too. (just some free medical advice)

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!

I can't wait! Pedro is taking my housing down tomorrow to make sure there are no leaks and to make sure I have everything put together right It's a little different than my Ikelite for my old 5050 set-up

And jay you know that you, Amber and I are shooting the same camera now! Where's Jim? We need to get him on board for the competition! haha!

Yeah I know - I took the Ike and 60mm macro to Fla a few weeks ago and played a bit. Can't wait to get the seahorses!!

Will any of you be in LA the evening of June 16 ? If so maybe we could meet up for dinner? Thinking of Staying at the Ritz in Marina Del Rey, any other suggestions?

We are actually flying out of LA on the 14th so will be sitting on the beach by then.

We'll be arriving on the afternoon of the 17th. I think our flight gets in ~ noon. We're planning on meeting up with BurBunny upstairs in the Bradley International terminal about mid-afternoon.

I can't wait to hear all about your wedding (and see lots of pictures, of course).
