Leslie, have you tried "the patch" for your sea sickness? I’m like you. I get sick standing on the dock just looking at the boat. I tried every remedy known to mankind. I finally went to my doctor and got a prescription for the Scopamine patch. The first time I tried it we had rough seas, and I was the only one who didn’t get sick. Extra lunch for me :-) It was the first time I could go below deck to use the head or eat my included food. For me, after insurance, they cost $25 for four patches. I cut mine in half for a short trip, or use the whole patch for an all or multi day trip. It’s best to put it on the night before. I find I am a little drowsey the morning of the dive when I first wake up (feels like you were drinking the night before), but that wears off in fresh air by the time you hit the boat. 100% cure. You should try it. Might open up your diving world like it did mine.
