What's your breakfast before diving?

[Tigerman]

Thank god I ate just before I opened this thread.. I just had an omelet of FOUR eggs, some onion, leek, parika (aka peppers) and a bit of ham. lots of protein, low on calories, plenty of stuffed. Works for breakfast too.
While diving I do however preferr something righer on energy cause you DO burn energy while diving and I hate being low on it.
A bit of omelet, some pancackes and some meat along with some cheese and coffee is a good start

What I DONT do before diving however is overeat. Itll only land you in deep doo-doo with regards to motion sickness, even if youre not prone to it. For some reason people tend to GET prone to it on a overfilled stomach..

Depends on when the boat is leaving. In Fiji at AI resorts and with the boats usually leaving on Fiji time, I ate a regular breakfast of eggs and toast and whatever else was available. During the month I spent in a condo diving Bega lagoon, I didnt want to get up early enough to eat a normal breakfast and so I ate like I did in Coz and Kauai where the boats also left on time, too damn early!!! That would be some fruit and/or toast that I could eat on the way to the boat or on the boat on the way out. Including bananas that I often ate on the boat for breakfast and sometimes during the SI as well. I have eaten bananas on dive boats many many times and no catastrophes to date.

Ive been eating banana under water.. But it was a shore dive!!

Rudy's BBQ Chop*, Potato and Egg breakfast taco!

*chop is chopped brisket mixed in a spicy bbq sauce.

Cliff bar and crystal light energy. Then I love chilked fruit on my SI followed by a 45 min nap on the boat.

Oatmeal, very light milk on it, raisins, brown sugar, with a side of toast. Or.....Toast with peanut butter plus a banana. I get seasick easily so no eggs, bacon, sausage....no greasy stuff.

Anything but pepperoni pizza....and of course peanutbutter and jelly....

No seasick issues so nothing special. Usually toast or bagel, couple poached eggs for protein. And always a banana before the boat . Oh, and I top it all off with Diet Mountain Dew, my version of morning coffee and my only addiction (other than SB of course).

I'm prone to seasickness.
If I'm at a resort which does early 8am, two tank dives, I eat fruit and a banana.
If I'm at a resort which has later in the morning dives, I'll eat a normal breakfast. As long as it is not greasy.
