One year while diving in Bonaire, which is mostly shore diving with one boat dive a day, on the very first dive of the very first day, I stubbed my toe on some rock while walking in and broke it. I did the dive and the next one. We had a doctor in the group who looked at it and said yep you broke it. Told hubby how to tape it. I only missed one dive the entire rest of the trip but boy did it hurt when jumping off the boat.
On another dive trip in Hawaii in the middle of the night on about the 2nd night, I got very bad sick. Stuff coming out of everywhere. I got up and went diving the next morning and afternoon but couldn't eat anything. It wasn't making me sick, I literally couldn't swallow. So I missed the next day of diving and was back at it the next because I could actually force clear liquid down my throat. By the end of 5 days I was fine again, only missed one day of diving and we had planned on taking a day off, just not that one and we weren't planning on laying around the hotel.
On another dive trip, I think it was Little Cayman, I started out the trip with a sprained ankle, sprained it the day before we were supposed to leave. My son was along on that trip so his job after every dive was ice and wrap Mama's ankle. I didn't miss any dives that trip.
So, yes, I've been sick/injured on a lot of vacations but rarely let it interfere with the trip.
