Actually, it is possible to get ready when the boat's still moving.  Get the 
captain to tip you off when you're about 15 or 20 minutes out from the site 
and start assembling your gear (mount reg on tank....test reg, etc).  If you 
need a wetsuit to dive, then this would be a good time to put it on.  As you 
have already noted, most of the motion comes as the boat starts the final 
approach to the dive site.  If you have 3/4 of the donning ritual done 
already, it should be easy enough to just slide the tank on, put your mask on 
your face, and go.  I've practiced this for 20 years and I am usually the 
first in the water every time.....and I don't even have a problem with motion 
sickness.
