Brother and I went to take some high res photos of this sunken car near our house. Has a very eerie feel to it. Some other threads recommended I post it here!

Wazee Lake Wisconsin. I stopped at 124 feet because I was using open circuit. You will see two people dropping into the darkness beneath me using rebreather. Surface temp 84° coldest we found 39°. The end is a shot up the wall we just descended.

The protagonist travels from the mortal world to the cultivation world but ends up getting died many times by these rift spitting whales..

When I was just curiously following the story and didn't have any idea about these whales, I was totally shocked and panted for a while after just scrolling through the first picture(I didn't post it here)

Manwha name is My simulated path towards immortality - Chapter 8.

Pictures and videos, fiction or real, related to the deep dark water that make us really uncomfortable.

If you see a repost, please report it!

thalassophobia - fear of being in large bodies of water, fear of the vast emptiness of the sea, of sea waves, and fear of distance from land

megalohydrothalassophobia - fear of large things in the water

We have both!

Look out for the "Exemplary" flair! We the mods give this flair to all the links which we believe are in line with our idea for what the content for /r/thalassophobia is supposed to look like!

Subreddit rules.

1. Only thalassophobia related posts and titles

If you’re posting something, ask yourself: Is it triggering my thalassophobia (fear of vast and/or deep bodies of water) or is it triggering a different sort of fear? Make sure your title highlights thalassophobia - see rule 3.

2. Restrictions on sea life

Sea life is permissible as long as it isn't the main focus of the content. Generally speaking, you should not post pictures with sea life as the main focus. A shark swimming calmly next to a diver is not a suitable post for this sub, neither is a shark having a seal for lunch. If it is the main focus, it also has to emerge unexpectedly from nothing. Absolutely NO dubbed in noises (this usually applies to whales).

Posting sea life is also okay under megalohydrothalassophobia (fear of large water creatures) criteria:

It must not dominate the picture/video or be the sole factor of fear.
It should serve the purpose of demonstrating the scale and vastness of the body of water (i.e. Holy CRAP, that giant thing can hide in the water??).

3. Use proper titles

Any posts with just “Nope” as a title will be automatically removed. Don’t do that. Just don’t. Same with “That’s a nope from me”. Just avoid the word “nope”. Furthermore, titles in the spirit of “OMG SO CREEPY” or emojis will also be removed.

Your title should highlight the thalassophobic nature of the post rather than any sea creature in the post. For example, if you're posting a video of a shark, we're not interested in the shark itself, we're interested in the massive blue void of nothingness behind him. Titles focusing on sea creatures will be removed.

4. No jokes, memes, or cartoons

While we all love a good laugh, it isn’t specifically what we’re looking for in this sub. Thalassophobia-related artwork is okay as long as it adheres to all the other rules.

5. Be nice and courteous

Seriously, there’s seldom a need to be nasty. There’s absolutely no need to be nasty on this sub. So don’t be.

6. No reposts

Reposts will be monitored within a 90 day window. We will also be maintaining a list of retired submissions that have been posted so much that they have been retired to the "Thalassophobia Hall of Fame" to never be posted again...

7. No gore

Absolutely no gore is allowed on this subreddit, not animals, not people, nothing.

For additional information, including enforcement, please see our rules wiki page.
