Thalassaphobia is a real thing

I, for one, think it’s completely fucking reasonable to afraid of deep, dark water. Phobia my ass.

Some phobias are irrational but that's not part of the meaning of the word

Depends, some pictures I see that get posted on places like that look perfectly fine to swim across to me. Like it's just the sea in a calm day and you can't see the bottom. Actually the same happens at the beach where I live but that is because the water is so cloudy, slopes off steeply though, especially at high tide. So usually can't stand up except right at the shore line.
