@@BR0SE1DON cheers! Oh yeah, it gets pretty quick to me after all these windy roads before getting into water. :) it sort of getting better, but if there is a swell and no visibility, I'm done.
@@cloudyhorizon1780 mate, I am in EXACTLY the same boat. I get it so badly - any chop on the water and I'm cooked. I had it worse than I've ever had it this weekend, I was out on Saturday, the forecast was meant to be amazing but as soon as I left the harbour, the wind and the swell were something else. 4 foot swell, the visibility was as bad as I've ever seen it. I managed to find a sheltered spot behind an island but honestly, I couldn't see much past the end of my gun. I threw up, often while I was on the bottom, at least 7 or 8 times... I tried to power through it... I found myself retching on the surface so hard I was struggling to breathe, actually got me a bit panicked - had it call it a day. You're right about the drive, I have to go across the Welsh mountains, takes me 2.5 hours, super winding roads most of the way, sets my up for failure! I've tried everything, ginger, wrist bands, medication... no joy. After that drive, an hour messing with the boat, 40 mins steam to the reefs all to get sick after half an hour in the water, heart breaking!!
@@BR0SE1DON It is a pain! And things do get worse when you realise that you cannot do anything about it and you spent so much time to get to the place. So it can be extremely disappointing indeed. Also it affects my equalisation, so basically all I can do is to get to the shore and give myself a longer break. I think what really makes a difference for me, as I also tried all stuff that you mentioned to no avail is a good sleep before the dive. Preferably no commute at all before, meaning that I need to camp somewhere close. Wild camping works pretty good but I need to carry lots of stuff so it is an extra effort. But if I go diving without driving things normally are smoother for me. Hydration as well, drink as much as you can... nothing can go wrong with it and do breaks between dives. Like a short 30-45 minutes dive and the same time for a break and so on. Do you do spearfishing in Pembrokeshire? I love the area, very fishy and wild. The vis, though, is a gamble. We could catch up for a dive there? I'm thinking that I need to do PBShire until the end of the season. Cheers.
@@cloudyhorizon1780 That's really good information about not driving beforehand, I can always stay down at the coast so maybe I'll try heading down the night before next time. I always try to keep well hydrated and not eat a lot while I'm diving. As soon as the sea sickness creeps in, my stomach just wants to be empty, so at least I'm only throwing up water! The bit that always gets me is when I've been on the bottom and am heading to the surface, the change in pressure just turns my stomach, so I'm normally sick just as I'm surfacing - lovely! I've found reducing the pressure around my middle helps a bit, so a nice stretchy weights belt sitting as low as possible and as many weights in my vest as possible. I actually dive in North Wales, so if you ever venture up here, you're more than welcome to come out on the boat! Check out my videos!
@@BR0SE1DON will check the videos, subscribed already. Anglesey was amazing when we had a holiday there last year. Would like to try Llyn, but may be next season now. Cheers, will ping you when decide to come!
That looks super fun , some great underwater shots of the gulleys and bass
Looks like a great little trip, well done! Amazing spot to camp out. Glad to hear I’m not the only spearo who gets seasick!!
