Actually took the Dramamine at 6 AM the morning of the dive. The boat was supposed to leave at 8 but, all dives got canceled due to high winds. I took another dose at 11 AM and the afternoon boat left the dock at 1 PM. Did not work at all.
I used Dramamine extensively in the Navy (prior to Transderm Scope becoming available) and it never worked for me. I know a lot of folks who have used Dramamine with great success. I'm apparently just one of those folks that it doesn't seem to help.

Awww, sorry that it did not work for you.
Your 6am pill probably wore off by 1pm?
And depending on conditions the 11am tablet probably wasn't enough to cover you. If the 6am tablet wore off that means you really had 1 in your system.. I guess.
I check the marine forecast. When I know that its going to be anything higher than 2ft waves I go ahead and take two! (Bonine) Especially when diving in the Atlantic coast its almost always rough there.
