What does everyone eat before a dive?

Breakfast

The "diver's breakfast" at Atlantis Resort, Puert Galera, is particularly good - followed by lots of water right before the dive.

I find beans is one thing I stay away from.

Nuthing..

I normally don’t eat much, or anything, before diving. Usually only a cup of coffee to wake up and then some water to hydrate. Maybe some small snacks during the surface intervals. I think diving, or the anticipation and preparation before a dive, suppresses any hunger.

I’ve found diving with a full stomach can be uncomfortable at best, and at worse.. well – at least the fish will be happy…..

What and how much I can eat after a day of diving is a totally different matter....

Sometimes the best part of diving is afterwards: the hot shower, the first cold beer and then being a complete pig in the kitchen, BBQ or restaurant…

Cheers,
Rohan.

BTW - did you know it takes a long time to pluck lemongrass out of a second stage while being mobbed by fish....

Gatorade and granola. I don't like doing much on a full stomach, and prefer to load up on calories with less filling foods.

Depends on the time of day, my mood, if I'm alone or with friends.......same as any other time.
