How To Prevent Sea Sickness?

Hi, I am an 18 year old Female. I am in Hawaii for vacation. I have a question about Sea Sickness, I went out on a submarine yesturday as a tour to view underwater life, & as soon as I sat down in the submarine I started feeling really nauseous, and sense it is a fear of mine I started also getting anxious. I didn't throw up but the swaying of the boat like that really was awful. I am now going whale watching tomorrow after noon and It will be a bigger vessel I will be on but I wanted to know if there was anything I can eat or do to help with that. I don't want to rune something that is supposed to be fun, because of me throwing up. I have also never been out to sea before really. any suggestions?

Hi there,

I am happ'ynto know that you are having wonderful time in Hawaii.
The sickness you felt she going under sea for first time is a normal reaction. Different people have different reactions to going under sea. The only solution is to avoid going under sea. Get psychologically prepared, do not think over getting sick but think about the wonderful places you are going to see.
Take something (chewing gum) in mouth and keep chewing it up.

All the best!
