We get our kit sorted out and head out on a small boat and then dive in doing a backwards roll. My stomach isn't good and the rocking of the boat wasn't helping either. The dive is cool, we see a turtle swimming along and lots of fish with some beautiful coral as well. About 20 minutes into the dive I suffer a bit of underwater vertigo and decide that I am going to vomit. Not great when you are 18 metres underwater but you just get on with it and puke through the regulator. It is pretty disgusting but I purge the reg and am breathing OK, the key thing is to not panic. I also throw up as soon as we surface and on the boat back to the lagoon as well. We have a rushed lunch before doing another dive. This dive was rubbish, we were accompanied by some introductory divers and spent the first 10 minutes on the bottom waiting for them to descend and join us. We then swim around for a bit, not really seeing anything. The only interesting thing that happened was me throwing up again underwater and on surfacing.
The boat trip back is fine and reasonably calm so no more throwing up takes place. I am so glad to touch terra firma again and also to get some food into my stomach.
