It's a very dangerous place. But a group of our ancestors actually broke off and dwelt at the sea. The further and further they swam out to hunt, the more they evolved for swimming and living at sea. The merfolk are real. They're not pretty by our standards like in cartoons but they exist. There is a substantial amount of sightings and even some footage. A body was even found but unfortunately the US government confiscated it.

It is but its also mesmerising. I've been scuba diving and I'd go again

Yesss. The ocean is scary and incomprehensible. I don't even like sitting on beaches and looking at it. Put me in the mountains, please.

yeah when you think about how deep it goes, the strange life we find swimming around in it, and how unexplored it is, it can be.

Fear of the ocean is called Thalassophobia.

I get it. I get a spooky feeling when I think about the dark, endless depths.

I never go in if I can not see the bottom.
Do not want something coming up from the depths and engulfing me.

That's it's nature alright... I'm guessing you don't live near one?

At least there is a lot of room to maneuver!

That’s why you just stand on the shore and look at it...

I don't know which of those pictures is scariest.

Yes it really is yet it holds such endless beauty.

No way, I love swimming in the ocean.

It is also stunningly beautiful .

Yeah but they're fun swimming with

Yes. It gives me anxiety.

The hammerhead shark has always been my favorite shark. ♥️

The first pic was a lie tho

Fishies

It can be mind blowing

Not the place to be at all

It's not intimidating until the depth increases above my chest.
