Thalassophobia is an intense phobia or fear of large bodies of water. Nothing epitomizes this more than if you imagine being in the middle of the ocean, far from land, and poking your head under the water with goggles on and seeing the vast empty expanse of dark water thousands of feet below you. You have no idea how deep it is or what lurks there, but you know that you are completely helpless to whatever it might be. So, here are three open-water diving incidents.

I don’t even have to look down dude. One time I was in Colombia snorkeling on a coral reef out in the middle of the ocean but at some point it just dropped to an endless dark void, was traumatized.
Just watching this gives me the feeling of helpless ness and it's frightening.
Idiotic divers. Their own fault.
In the first story,how did he get nitrogen narcosis if he had the right mix right?haven’t finished video but if you can just pass out underwater very easily makes me never wanna go in the ocean,I mean he had the right gases right?
I tried snorkeling in Mexico lol I was in a group of people. I could see land in most directions. But I drifted to the edge of the group. And when I looked behind all I saw was ocean. I panicked. They saw me panicking. Threw me up on the boat. And I decided that kind of stuff just isn’t for me lol and that was an “easy” experience lol can’t imagine doing anything like this lol
Add footage
That music to is so creepy and yet so fitting
My old neighbor was a survivor on the Doria
She showed me some photos of her and her husband on the ship and a picture while they was on a life boat 🛥️ taking pictures of the ships
This was 1977
The not sure if she is still alive
"Waiting to be found is the loneliest place"
In Scouts we used a buddy tag board at the camp's lake.
Why do none of these diving / caving places have such a thing to prevent wrongful counts?
I don't even like the deep end of a swimming pool lol.
I was diving on a reef in the Red sea the at about 80 feet & the current caught me & I could not stay with group no matter how hard I swam it just kept pulling me out to sea. I was getting toward the end of the reef & I realised it was a cliff with a steep drop off down several hundred feet. The current can pull you down the cliff in an uncontrolled descent so about 20 yards from the cliff edge I inflated the BCD & surfaced, boat came & got me!
The absolute worst is called Blue Orb syndrome. In open ocean with no walls or reference points, and you don't know which way is up, Usually in conjuction with Nitrogen narcosis, your cognitive functions become impaired, and you literally cannot determine which way is which, just ALL blue water. Bloody scary!
I remember diving off the coast of North Carolina, we were about 20-30 miles off shore, diving off a wreck that was about 100ft down.
The visibility was approximately 100ft and perfect conditions.
When we got down to about 80ft and within sight of U-352, I turned, noticing a large shark break off from an intersect point it had with me. It was at least 12 ft long, and white tips are known to go after divers. I was also incredibly surprised as you dont see them here, ever.
The rest of the dive i could not relax as one of my friends before the dive had recounted having to repeatedly discourage an attack with his spear gun, poking the shark in the nose in gills.
Had I not turned and noticed the shark i wonder what would have happened, we saw the shark several more times during the dive, and once from the surface when we were boarding the boat. Im thankful I didnt get bit.
There's a YouTube video where a man sinks like a rock and is screaming the whole time. He goes down like 800 feet. So imagine the pressure he felt.
Thats why i dont get into anything deeper than 6 ft 😂 and I'm definitely not driving into a ocean no sir
After a close historical observation, it’s seems giving a vessel the first name of ‘Andrea’ in the Atlantic is very bad luck…
The music in the beginning 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 staring at gangsters in the hood, if you know you know🤣
There is a movie about Tom and Eileen, not sure what the name was though
Seems like it would be fairly easy to Not die in any of these ways.
If you want your stories to be scary, you should prolly get your 'up talk' under control.
Dude counted to 26 so slowly that a couple was able to enter the water, resurface, and be counted again?
As a van isle resident, I’m horrified this place has been mentioned twice already 😅 here i am thinking nothing happens here
I have no issue being out in open water. Its actually a nice sight to look below the surface. But when its night time… HELL NO..im out. Im not doing it
I don’t even mess with the ocean like that😭😭😭
Can you imagine the moment the crew realized that they had left the couple out there? The horror
As a scuba diver, this sent literal chills up my spine.
Gonna keep diving though!
gotta love how each of the videos shows they had multi-million dollar yachts just outside the dive spot. Looked into getting into diving a while ago, but the cost is F*^ked, you need to be a (or related to/ friends with) millionaire. sooo rich people problems. show us some poor people problems and it might be more relatable since we are all on shitty phones watching this, not owning the phone company
The Andrea Doria would also prevent George Costanza from getting an apartment.
