That was my video at 5:40 lol. In that moment I was literally thinking about your videos and how much you'd hate being there lmao. I was diving in a quarry and that was apparently the "crusher pit" where the limestone crushing machine used to be. There is a mineshaft somewhere but I wasn't about to go anywhere down there. My dive buddy said after "I didn't know you could have a fear of heights underwater". It actually was more cool than anything. I believe for deeper water certifications they actually go down into it.

[@tsisto0511]

Im trying to visit crater lake. Its so mysterious plus lot of disappearances of people in that area too. They say the water is soo blue and yes i heard of a log floating vertically

[@_Minecraft_ASMR]

The tree is centuries old (450 years) but has only been recorded in the lake for just over 100 years.

[@darrenstopper1806]

Just looked it up why is it so horrifying beneath the surface?

[@RachelKozlowski-jf8gp]

The oil rig isn’t bending, it’s floating. If oil platforms are in deep enough water (where it would be impossible to attach to the seafloor) then they are built as giant floating platforms. They use anchors and a dynamic system of thrusters to stay in place over the well.

[@SusieQzz]

My parents took a cruise to Alaska this summer and man, the pictures they sent back, are insane. They didn't have any problems, if that makes you feel a little better! Also, big green fan here.

[@gothgirl4evr881]

My to two cruise destinations are Iceland and Alaska. Been to the western Caribbean and it was beautiful but I live in Florida so I see the tropical beach scenery all the time. So going to Iceland and Alaska would be a total different experience. But unlike going to the Caribbean which Florida has several ports to leave from the others would mean a flight cross country before even getting to the cruise so that costs more than a few pretty pennies

[@Tyriad_]

As a kid i was snorkeling at a coral reef and accidentally swam out over a drop off. All the sudden the temperature dropped and i was staring down a steep slope that just disappeared into nothingness. I've never felt more primal fear like i was a prey animal in danger than in that moment. Been fucking horrified of the ocean ever since.

The Caspian sea is the largest lake in the world, and has salt water which classification makes it a sea

[@china_sickness7005]

This isn’t really being in the ocean, but one of my favorite things I’ve ever done was walked alone on the beach with a full moon perfectly illuminating my surroundings. It was so peaceful. It was so therapeutic to just hear the waves. I could see just as far out on the ocean as I could during the day because of how bright the moon was. I know that’s not creepy or very relatable to the video topic, but It was such a cool experience, and watching this reminded me of that

[@ElysetheEevee]

As someone else who is deathly afraid of deep water, and generally dislikes water all around: I'm with you on having the fear, but also really wanting to be in it. I often think about how cool it would be to be adapted to life in the ocean, and how freeing it'd be to just swim around in it. No worries about drowning or anything.

[@HomeSlice97]

I was at my friend’s summer house on an island. We were paddling a canoe in the sea when my friend’s mom turned to me and said, ‘Look down.’ At that moment, I was unaware of my phobia, just a few seconds away from discovering it. I cautiously peered over the edge of the canoe, and what I saw initially sent a strange sensation through me. It was a long, imposing structure, so close to the surface that it almost touched it, disappearing into the depths of the sea. It was a ship wreck from an old ship

[@AlottaBoulchit]

The train over the water hits the same fear that most Thalassophobia scenarios do for me. Mostly because this is a night video so the water is dark and I can't SEE where it is so my mind thinks at any moment the track is going to disappear and we'll plunge into the dark depths. *shudders* I had to ride in a car over a huge reservoir in a similar fashion late at night a few years back. There was no storm, though, so I couldn't see where the land began and the water ended. I just had to spend like 20 minutes panicking until I saw a house. LOL I hate driving over reservoirs, but driving over them during the night or a bad storm is just the WORST.

[@-tera-3345]

For me, that video hits the same primal fear in me that thinking about atolls does. All around you is nothing but water for as far as the eye can see, and the train tracks are only a foot or so above it. So if the water gets rough and some big waves start coming, there's nowhere to go. Though I suppose that since the tracks are running on an embankment, that water may not be that deep, but even so. You can't really tell that when all you can see is the surface.

[@ninskywalker3697]

What a nice way to spend my evening watching this scary thang. By the way as someone born in a city on the shore of the Caspian sea, turns out it really is a lake technically, so you're questioning the right thing Greg 😁. Although about 5.5 million years ago it was part of the Tethys Ocean and got landlocked as a result of tectonic uplift and sea-level fall. I guess it matters that it kept a lot of sea-like properties, like water salinity (even though it is around 3x less salty than the oceans) or the fact that it is part of the oceanic crust and not the continental crust and so on. So I guess in a way because of its history and just the sheer size of that thing, it somehow deserves to be called a sea. Aaaaand that's the end of my Ted talk. Thanks for the video Greg!

[@CrookedBear]

15:12 he just described every single emotion I’ve ever felt about the ocean ever. I never knew someone else felt the same and int a way I feel just a little less afraid. Since I was little, Everytime id see anything ocean related I’d sob, shiver, and gag. Several child psychologists my parents took me to never knew what was wrong, eventually they deduced I was just horribly thalasaphobic.

When I had goggles I was ok. My fear is cold water. Cold, dark water. I would be easily interrogated and give up any info if I was threatened with cold, dark water.

[@ClipperHorizon]

I think you'll really enjoy the Alaska cruise! Super rough weather like that is very uncommon, usually rough weather just amounts to some extra roll. Cruise ships are big enough that the rolling motion is slower than you would think and it's not like the ship is wildly tossing around. If you hear booming sounds it's just waves striking the hull, completely safe, just noisy. I always feel like I'm being rocked to sleep during rougher weather.

[@fatality7303]

I had a dream where i was gigantic, and i was somewhere in the ocean. A few seconds later, i saw the Gargantuan Leviathan from Subnautica, swimming under the water, so instead of freaking out, i went deeper to see where it was, and once i got the bottom it swam towards me but since i bigger then it i grabbed it and punched it back to back. I basically beat the shit out of the Garg.

I was traveling in a bridge over a lake and it was super duper foggy. You could see the water pilling at the edges of the bridge but nothing past that.

One of my favorite songs is Black Eyes by David Wirsig, it captures the fear of the ocean really well, and specifically the fear of not knowing what's around you but just knowing that if there is Something near by that you couldn't get away from it.

I went Great White cage diving off Isle of Guadalupe in 2019. On day two of diving I found myself alone in the cage for several hours (majority of others scrubbed their dives that day due to weather conditions). Whilst below, one particular shark took interest in me; circling many times, dissolving into the void only to reemerge in an unexpected location. I felt secure in the cage even though a 6m, 2000kg predator loomed just outside. At one point I had lost track of the shark for several minutes, only to have it come at me from below, jaws agape, veering away from me and the cage at last second. I doubt I will ever experience such terror again. I was left awestruck by the silence of such a massive creature.

Totally agree with you on the fear/fascination part. I’m terrified of the ocean in many ways, but I love going out on it.

I went on a Carnival cruise a few weeks ago, and now I'm realizing why thalassophobia is reasonable. Because, riding a ferry from a big ship to the beach, and seeing the ocean beneath you, god, it was scary, though the ocean around there was a little nicer. It was the bahamas, and it's definitely better than going to Alaska. Speaking of, what cruise line are you going with, Greg?
