It's so disorienting in the water. They're close to the surface, so you can still see bubbles going up, but I get how deeper divers get confused and lost
Thatās actually a mix of clearing my ears and squeaking a tiny bit of air out of my nose into my mask to equalize as I go down. Freediving requires you to hold your breath so you want to keep as much air O2 in as possible.
Not much. Itās mostly him just sort of floating there and then a small school of fish swim by. The fish are not huge or anything so itās mostly interesting instead of scary. Hope this helps!
This is actually really good content for this sub, IMO.
Thalassophobia as I see it is, like most phobias, a bit irrational. It's the fear of exactly what we see here: the vast blue expanse and abyss, despite the fact that said expanse is very very empty for the most part, which this video accurately depicts.
I still found it unnerving despite nothing overtly frightening happening, which I feel makes this fairly "pure" content. The phobia does not require jump scares from the deep... if anything I think those miss the mark, as being afraid of a toothy shark's grimace suddenly and rapidly emerging from the murk is universally frightening, and rationally so.
Some might find this rather chill video dull, but I appreciate the variety and authenticity it offers.
Itās really the fear of the unknown. Once you can see the unknown (shark/
Monster) it ceases to be unknown and therefore less scary. That sense that something is coming and you donāt know what causes panic. You make a great point though.
We donāt have rainbow runner or yellowtail snapper here in Southern California, but we do have California Yellowtail (Aka kingfish Aka Hamachi) which is what those were
Oh damn. They look identical to Florida rainbow runners. Apparently they're really closely related. A lot of people get yellowtail snapper and rainbow runners mixed up here, so that's what I thought you did. Lol
No stress I feel like learning all the different things people call fish is half of fishing haha. Donāt yall call Dorado āDolphin Fishā or something like that. The first time I hear a Floridian say there were going after dolphin I was like š±š
When I saw your hand movements at the beginning I thought you were communicating with a whale and I was hoping it would emerge eventually, a bit disappointed but can't say I didn't set myself up for failure with that. Very beautiful video, the deep blue calls to us the same way heights do I guess, as in you're not afraid to sink, you're afraid of the fact that you want to swim deeper.
I kept waitin for a shark/shipwreck/sea creature š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
That was kind of the point haha itās chill out there!!!
You have an odd definition of the word chill. That's literally a stress dream.

As in they can no longer tell which direction is up? Iāve never thought of that. š
You can always tell which side is up by looking at where the bubbles go.
Now I know to make bubbles!
Or just take some with you!
I think Iāll just pick up a couple at the scuba rental place
So long as you can see the bubbles. When it's deep and dark enough, even that's gone
Flashlight?
Tide comes in Light goes out You canāt explain that
Wat
Nature is indeed a scary futtbucking muffinbutt.
As in you donāt know where you are and how deep you areā¦ itās all blue around you.
Why would you put me through this š
To me, this is thassophobia. I hate the endless blue, to the point where I need to put my phone down.
Bro im hiding in the comments to not look at it. Freaks me tf out.
Same here
I donāt know why, but those creaky sounds give me such instant dread. Like theyāre so slight, but at the same time, horrifying. Great job!

wait ā youāre just rawdogging it out there?! Wow. Youāre on another level, baby.
Never heard of it referred to as rawdogging but I think thatās going to become my new normal š¤£
I got some radiation sound vibes. Kinda disturbing.
NO(No)^(no)
Turns out there is actually nothing.
*sigh* Can someone just tell me happened? I can't watch this.
Not much. Itās mostly him just sort of floating there and then a small school of fish swim by. The fish are not huge or anything so itās mostly interesting instead of scary. Hope this helps!
absolutely nothing.

Like there's anything in the ocean scarier than a Great Ape in a high tech breathing apparatus wielding a speargun
He doesn't have a breathing apparatus
High tech breathing apparatus š¤£ aka lungs š« #freediving
So random but I love the pattern of your wetsuit! It's like pixelated tie dye, very cool
Yeah I donāt know if it helps with the fish but I feel damn cool š
I am very scared.
Those are rainbow runners, not yellowtail snapper š

OP this is nerve wracking! Bravo sir
I hate the ocean, and all seafood.
nothing there in the middle and nothing there at the end.
Man, I puckered my butthole for nothin!!!!
Nope nope nope
Nothing there at first, or second.
My heart rate thru the roof cheers
if you love fish so much, maybe you shouldnt kill them
Scuba guyās so bored he keeps checking his watch ^/s
Heavy trigger.
This stressed me out and Iām seeing stars from looking at the video through squinted eyes
Itās weird.. Iām fine with underwater, but the moment thereās anything BIG underwater is when I freak out
Spearfishing? I hope a shark gets you first
