Wayne once bubbled...
I need some help. I just passed my Padi coarse in Cozumel.
Everytime I dove I got sick and had to surface to puke.
This was during 4 shore dives and 2 boat dives. The depth ranged from 30 ft to 60 ft.
I had no fever, vertigo, stomach pain etc.
During my Open Water, I did swallow a fair bit of salt water, and again a little during my other 2 dives. Could this be the cause?
It was suggested that I may have motion sickness and to try a motion sickness pill.
Thank You

How are you managing to swallow seawater, I'm a relatively new diver myself but cannot think of a single occasion where I have ever swallowed water whilst diving! Are you forgetting to purge the valve or blow into it if you have to take it out of your mouth?
