I've used Sturgeron with generally good effect... They didn't help enormously when out in a F6 but that may have also been due to not taking them until just before the boat left

Oooo, Ginger is supposed to help too... Perhaps try nibbling on some Ginger nuts or crystalline ginger?

You're dead then: I have to give them four hours to take but I can keep taking one every eight hours for a week and keep not only diving but eating on a liveaboard. I nod off a bit easily on that routine though.

Kwells and Joyrides work a bit but leave me feeling trashed and depressed after a day and I can't bother to dive. I think I missed a lot of dives because they cured my seasickness but left me unable to even want to dive.

Thumbs up
Ginger is Good, even Ginger Biscuits. I love em...

It doesn't dehydrate you either, which I'm told some seasickness tablets can do. Not a good thing when diving.

Shouldnt you get Ginger's permission before you nibble at his nuts?
