What to eat if at all?
Ok folks I always find that I tire more quickly on my 2nd dive therefore its never as good. Has anyone suggestions on best things to eat during surface interval that wouldnt make me bloat out but would give me added energy and stamina?

Bearing in mind I am trying to diet as well.

Cheers
Yaz

Water or apple juice for hydration in general. Bananas for energy.

How is your general fitness? Not that I am one to talk about this particular subject

Fitness not great as I dont have sufficient motivation to do much excercise more then the gym and pool once a week. I am no longer a smoker though .
My work is quite sedentary lots of talking type therapy and a footy kick around session once a week.

Smile tuna
we tend to eat tuna sandwiches and bananas in the surface interval, also i try to avoid cooked breakfast as i end up belching all through the dives and all i can taste is beans, bottled water for hydration before and after the dive and a steaming hot drink if its cold
regards paul

Talking
a nice hot cuppa soup with pasta and croutons, possibly with bread roll.
IMHO i would advise to put the diet on the back seat on your diving days as thats when u need the energy and warmth and then be extra good during the week.

totally agree with Jo - lots of your natural hydration is food related so soup and roll is great, as is fruit

incidentally, and my apologies for the thread drift, are you diving on air or nitrox? Nitrox may help you to feel more energised as you have less nitrogen in your system

Energy levels
I like to take banana and apple, nutri grain bars, sports drinks. A large full breakfast can keep me going most of the day.
Nitrox works wonders for diving-OK mild exageration, but after a weekends diving I safely managed a 4.5 hour drive home yesterday.

Yep banana's are good for me; and those bags of mixed dried fruit things with dried pineapple, banana, coconut etc, and also mixed (unsalted) fruit and nuts offer a good energy boost without over filling yourself.




However, have a good drink of water to sloosh your mouth out before spitting in your mask
