I recall that when I used to go sailing, one of the crew had a ring that applied pressure to the inside of the finger....He said that worked well....and we always had ginger...

Not really any help but a funny story (sort of he was a bit silly)...
I was lucky enough to travel to Antarctica nearly 10 years ago, Brother in Law came too. Left from bottom of South America across the Drake Passage. BIL who suffers from sea sickness saw the doc on board, she gives him 6 tablets...strict instructions take 2 with tea, 2 in the morning and 2 later tomorrow. Crossing was expected to take nearly 2 days.  Silly BIL had tea, took all 4 washed down with a few beers, then didn't decided to take the last two.  He slept for 18 hours straight, woke ate a little bit of lunch/dinner then slept again till the next morning, missing the first iceberg!!  Tablets were funergan (sic) based. Doc wasn't too happy, on the way home she only gave him the 2 to start...Smart lady.  Trip home had lots of people throwing up as we hit gale force winds. will find the picture of a wave hitting the top deck 3 stories high!!

When we fish in Bass Straight and feel sick, best thing is to just bring it all up!

Went on a cruise a few years ago and the wife and kids had the wrist bands and some other tablets. None of it worked and the on board doc gave them the needle in the bum. Once they slept the rest of the day and night they woke up as good as gold for the remainder of the trip

Its even better when your at 30m and have a reg in your mouth. Its amazing what will pass through one under pressure. just dont take it out as the moment you release you will want to take a breath of fresh air
