Seasickness? 😢

Sometimes there is a rocking motion at sea.

Many people have the question, "does it get seasick on board? The crew's experience tells us that it happens, but not always and not for everyone. However, many are calmer if they know the causes and mechanism of this phenomenon

🔷 First, it is a purely psychological phenomenon and proven sea tricks help to handle it.

🔶Secondly, if there is such a need — any organism can quickly adapt to the rocking by itself.

🔷Chew gum and eat sweets – some people swear by it, others think just the repetitive motion of chewing, most effective with gum, helps relieves the symptoms.

🔶Close your eyes – many doctors believe that seasickness is actually your brain getting confused by too many signals. Start to shut these signals down by removing smells, tastes, hearing and vision.

We know: for a real traveler there are no obstacles that can make one give up the adventure! ⚓️

Why are sailing and diving made for each other? The first reason — a shared spirit of adventure. It puffs up the sails and drives the boat to new places. It also forces you to plunge deep into unknown areas. The second reason — a small boat won't take you far, and a big cruise liner won't come close to most locations. RUNNING ON WAVES is ready to lower a diving ramp that lies right on the surface of the water.
