This weekend I dove Blue Heron Bridge for the 4th time. A shore dive for those that do not know. (just started diving late last summer) Every single time I have ever dove there I end it being nauseous. 2 times feeling that way during the dive and all of them as I made my way out of the water and to the shore. I thought it might be due to the exertion of hauling my fat butt out of the water......lol. well ok- but i run long distances and consider myself to be in good shape so even this explanation did not really make sense but it was all I could string together. (it is the only difference between diving shore and drift dive on boat) However- this weekend I straight-up vomited after surfacing....on the surface, several times before I made my way back to shore. (fishies like plain greek yogurt?) I was feeling a bit woozie under water but not extremely so- I do believe Blue Heron's water seems saltier to me than a reef dive and sometimes i wonder if that was it? After some thinking it occurs to me that I do not take Triptone when I do shore dives cuz- well= duh- that stuff is for motion sickness brought on by the boat. But- I am wondering if I am, for whatever reason, a person prone to nausea diving period? Something to do with equalizing maybe and if I take the Triptone- ie boat dives, I do not feel it? Any pearls of wisdom or saltine crackers? LOL
