Ahmad,
    This might sound a little crazy but it works for me... When I was a lot 
younger and use to go boating (before I learned to Scuba Dive) I use to get 
motion sickness in a mild form. Now I seem to be a little more sensative to 
the motion of a boat. I am sort of like you, I do a lot of morning dives. 
What I do is have a light breakfast (ie egg McMuffin minus the egg and oj) 
since I do not eat breakfast anyways. Then when I go out on the boat trip, 
sometimes I am fine and other I am not so good.. My solution, I lean over the 
side of the boat and let it rip.. Not only do I see a lot of fish for a brief 
moment :-) but I feel A LOT better. I put on my equipment and jump right in 
(on the opposite side of the boat that is)...
   For me personally, I think that some of it is in my head... A good 
example. When I am in an airplane I get a mild motion sickness, unless I am
A) Pilot in Command
B) Navigator
C) Performing aerobatics with someone
If I am a passenger as with the boat ride to a dive site and I have nothing 
to do, then my minds tends to focus on the motion of the vehicle that I am 
in. If I stay busy, I tend to feel better.. You might want to try that in 
addition to every one elses suggestions..
hope that this helps!!
Chris
