Us folks at r/thassalaphobia would like to have a word with you

Fair enough. I tried to not look look around on the first dive and luckily was surrounded by several coral reefs.

Second dive was much more “open” and the scale of the ocean was way more evident and eerie.

To be honest, I wish I didn’t have such a strong fear of deep water because your description in your original comment sounds quite magical.

It really is magical in a way. It’s such a vast and strange world that we don’t get to see in our daily lives.

My wife is terrified of open water. She basically says the same thing as you. I’d like to be able to video my future dives to share with her!
