Not all people are ready to splash in the water day and night – there are also those who shiver from the thought of bathing somewhere except the pool and their own bath. Thalassophobia causes people to have different degrees of fear of the sea and depth – someone can only swim where their feet touch the bottom, and someone can’t even look at pictures of the depths. Such people can be understood, especially if you look at these pictures of the water spaces.
