I recently returned from a dive trip in St. Martin, It was nice. However, everyone was getting a little sea sick on the boat and one girl in particular was getting sick off the side of the boat.  She entered the water and told us after the dive that she had puked into her regulator (thank goodness I didn't witness it).
