Question

We know hydration is crucial for diving, what is your go to drink/method to staying hydrated?

Answer 1

Water and Gatorade do the trick for me!

Comments

Same here, I have found to like a diluted mix of water and gatorade works well.  I use a 3-1 ratio water/gatorade  which maximizes the cost value, but keeps water as the primary form of hydration.  What do you do?

Agreed I typically stick with drinking more water than Gatorade but if you only drink water you can flush out the salt in your bossy which is a different form of dehydration so having at least one bottle of Gatorade to at least two bottles of water works for me

Answer 2

water! and a thermos with hot coffee or tea for colder dives

Comments

Hot cocoa for me on cold dives. Yum!

Answer 3

Water and Gatorade for day dives. And hot tea or cocoa is always great after a cooler dive or a night dive!

Answer 4

Always keep a big cup of plain water on hand. It may sound odd but a lid with a big straw makes it easier to drink while in the boat. Also quicker to drink down so i end up drinking more volume.

Answer 5

Water and vitamin water.

Answer 6

Water and lots of it.I start a bottle when I board, another one or two during surface interval, and more on the wat back.

Answer 7

Water, and lots of it!

Answer 8

Hate to repeat, but you can’t beat water and Gatorade. Remember, you need electrolytes.
