After my second saltwater dives of the season, I've noticed a disturbing trend, and I am unsure what to do about it.
When I dive saltwater, if I do a reg exchange, or anything else where I get saltwater into my mouth, I get very queasy later. I have not tried this from a shore dive, only from a boat. I do not get motion sickness easily, and the boat movement didn't seem to make things any worse. I drank cold water and gatorade (rain) and started to feel better in a couple of hours.
This issue threatens to disrupt my wreck diving in the southeast, and while I am not a huge fan of saltwater in the first place, I would like to be able to dive it without significant issue.
I'd welcome comments on how to keep my stomach in check when doing these dives.
Thanks.
