Dont take this as a smart ass answer but...whats the difference in 10 feet of water compared to 1000 feet...you still cant touch and have to swim, I actually used this analogy in a water rescue training session where a candidate freaked when he asked how deep the water was (100+)
It's not about me touching anything . . . I think what it is is that I have the tendency to feel like single salmon egg . . bobbing about, just ready to become gobbled up by a 30 lb Lake Trout (Mackinaw) while in vast water
I think that my fear of water depths all started from boating in Lake Tahoe where, particularly in past years, the water is remarkably clear and you could see down to unbelievable depths. There was this one area where I used to troll for rainbow trout - The depth 300 - 400 yards off the shore was about three to four fathoms and all of the sudden there would be this shelf that dropped down to black unknown depths. That contrast freaked me out ! Always will ! I'd probably drown in panic if tossed overboard at that particular area of the lake.
I used to set the 9 horsey Mercury outboard engine at it's slowest speed dead ahead and I'd go up to the bow of the aluminum boat, look directly down and cruise over the top of that shelf, quite often, in the hopes of overcoming the excitement . . and I'll be damned if the sight didn't take my breath away each time :dunno:

What scares me? Dying alone!
Why does that actually scare you? If youre dead you dont have to care anymore...do you?
So you're afraid of getting drunk and not finding your way home? :tongue:
I am afraid of bees, hornets and wasps, I am also afraid of spiders when they are inside. If spiders are outside who cares, but if they are inside I am terrified of them.
What scares me? Dying alone!
Seriously: Failure, God and the IRS.
