If I spend any extended periods of time in the ocean swimming or scuba/freediving, I get indigestion. At least I think it is indigestion. It's almost as if the saltwater is irritating my asophogus. I know that I'm not swallowing significant amounts of water, but there is obviously saltwater getting into me. Actually, I find it is worst when I am snorkeling for extended periods of time. I think I'm inhaling salt as the water evaporates when breathing through my snorkel.

I'll be going to Cuba for a wedding/vacation in November and plan to do as much open water swimming as I can, but I don't want to deal with this indigestion issue. Has anyone exprienced this who may have suggestions for treatment? I have tried Tums on previous vacations south but they didn't seem to work.
The discomfort doesn't really bother me to the point of affecting my activity, but it's a pain when it comes time to take advantage of the all you can eat buffets. :-)

Thanks for the help.
