Not just Jaws but I can't believe anyone swims out into the ocean past a depth of like six feet. Fuck that.

>>83853278
is this real

>>83853329
Im able to swim in deep swimming pools and i dont mind swimming at the beach but i was always afraid of diving straight into really deep water in the sea it just freaks me out for some reason

I'm afraid of sharks in the pool

>>83853181
Nope, swimming in the ocean is pretty nice

>>83853329
There is this - if you've got a mask on it's pretty freaky looking down and not being able to see the bottom in any direction. Not as fun as glass platforms and bridges, but close.

>>83853329
This. You can't see shit. Fucking anything could be in there

>>83853383
Yep. I know it's completely irrational but being in an olymic sized pool after dark is still freaky. Stupid overactive imagination.

>>83853278
Looks like a giant alligator gar. We used to get them in the canals in my old neighborhood as a kid. Those things were freaky looking.

No, I still like the ocean, especially scuba diving. When diving, sharks are nowhere near as scary compared to surfing or swimming on the surface. I can't tell you how many sharks I've seen while diving, and I've never been fearful. Cautious, yes. But not afraid.

>>83853362

>>83854038
Well duh. There's a world of difference between being down below the surface and being able to see around you compared to just swimming on the surface of the water without even goggles on. Like I said here >>83853329, fuck that.

>>83853181
I still swim in the ocean but I will admit it always makes me nervous, I have seen wildlife (small sharks, dolphins, whales, schools of fish) but never bigger sharks, though I live in an area that gets great whites.

>>83854519
How far out do you swim? I never go more than like 30 feet from shore.

it was more like "sharks come into the general area to find things to eat". not a comforting thought.

Jaws and Alien ruined several summers for me but in totally different ways.

I remember not being too scared when seeing Jaws but it grew like a virus in my mind. Alien fucked me hard as I watched it and wouldn't leave me alone.

They're sprititually similar scares and both involve oceans. I've moved far into the coutnry and now I consider forests and hillsides a different sort of ocean, just a huge roaring dark that we can poke into sometimes but is most terrifying beause of what comes out of it.

>>83855253
that scene was very, very well-written. I cannot imagine the movie being as good if that gets edited out.

It went snorkeling off a reef in the Philippines on one of the smaller southern islands, and for some reason we couldn't get the boat close enough to the shallows and had to drop anchor a bit farther away from the reef. Jumped into what looked like pitch black tar and proceeded to have a massive panic attack followed by the quickest 100m swim of my life. Open ocean scares the fuck outta me thanks to Jaws.

>>83857107
i once decided to swim to mthe middle of a largish lake near home and promptly freaked the fuck out upon reaching it. My arms burned for like a day and half from that frantic swim back to shore.

>>83857276
Once I got close enough to the shore when I could stand I had to just stay there and catch my breath for about 5 min I was so fucking freaked out. The snorkeling was fun once I calmed the fuck down, but then we had to swim back to the boat...

I spearfish in kelp beds all the time, at first it was sketchy floating there and watching the kelp strands disappear into the water below, but now I actually find it really peaceful.

>>83857415
That's not too bad with SCUBA gear though. Swimming on the surface without even a snorkel or anything is terrifying.

When you guys say free dive, do you wear goggles or anything? How far down can you even go?

>>83857880

I do it completely naked with no equipment, and I dive like 500 miles down. I'm a pretty cool guy and have many girlfriends and things of this nature.

>>83853362
Yeah it's a Demon fish.
I think toy can find those in India.

>>83853181
No. When I came here from Cuba on a car that was converted into a boat, the sharks were circling us when we were like 2 hours away from the keys. They really don't do anything. One guy was trying to pet the shits when they got really close. My uncle was on another raft and would go into the water to pee and he went into the water while they were near. He was a fisherman and didn't give a fuck about sharks. My mom and I prayed and God heard us and made the sharks go away. This was when I was 6. Afterward , my uncles would always take me boating and I would swim 5 miles off the coast. I saw jaws for the first time when I was 18 and found it a bit silly, but I understand why people wouldn't want to swim in the ocean afterward.

>>83853181
Yes. But still go swimming anyways. Also that movie gave me a vore fetish. Was secretly hoping to be eaten by a shark.

Indeed. I was in Cancun back in 1999 and the water is round about chest deep for a 100 yards or so, then it drops off an underwater cliff and my buddy was blithely swimming way out past that part while I was just waiting for a kraken to come up and grab him.

Step it up bro.

>>83857880

Basic set up is mask + snorkel, wetsuit, freedive fins and a weight belt, I have 16 lbs of lead on mine. If you're spearfishing as well you have the gun and stuff. I'm super out of shape so I can only make minute long drops to about 55'.

Oceans are a place of death.

>>83858247
Ah okay. I was wondering if you used a weight belt. That makes more sense.

>>83853329

the majority of shark attacks occur in 3 feet of water

>>83859177
I've always found that fact somewhat doubtful but even if it's true, obviously we're not talking great whites.

>>83859258
are great whites even dangerous? at least in comparison to tiger sharks

>>83859258

well it's because the majority of people swim in that depth.

Bullshark and tiger sharks can get in to water that shallow no problem.

>>83853181
Made me think twice about getting in the fucking bathtub.

>>83859463
Yeah true, but I'd still be willing to bet that most attacks in really shallow waters are from much smaller and less dangerous sharks. We're not talking limbs being taken off, probably more like a dog bite.

>only deep water sharks are overly aggressive

the fuck is a deep water shark? I tagged greenland sharks in the arctic and they were pretty chill. Those things live in like 400 m of water.

Most sharks don't hang out in the middle of the ocean, there's nothing out there, it's a water desert. Mainly oceanic white tips cruise around out there.

Great whites are coastal unless they're migrating somewhere.

>>83858311
>outside is a place of death.

>>83859530

Bull sharks average 8 feet, great whites average 16. Bull sharks kill more people annually.

>>83859658

the sharks may be smaller, they're not less dangerous, shown by the fact that they cause more fatalities.

>>83859763
That's not what I was saying though. I'm saying the number of relatively minor bites from small sharks in shallow waters probably account for the vast majority of attacks each year overall, not just fatal ones.

most people don't go out past 15 yards from the shoreline while at the beach unless they surf. most shark attacks relatable to jaws are either done to scuba divers on a reef or from mako's venturing too far in shore. people go crazy when i say i pet nurse sharks like 30 yards off the shore on the sandbars. little guys are so damn cute though.

As a kid it scared the shit out of me but now I love it for its dialogue partially because of O&A.

Even a bite from a smaller shark on your thigh could prove fatal. I don't think there's such a thing as a minor shark bite. I used to go to the Florida part of the Gulf of Mexico every year, I've had any issue with or even saw a shark but I've stepped on a stringray twice and have been stung pretty badly by a jelly fish.

I got stung by a stingray one. I was like "OI CRIKEY IT GOT ME ROIGHT IN THE TICKA!" then I died and my daughter grew up hot and thicc.

A dogs mouth isn't full of razors meant to slice whole sections of flesh out in a single bite. You cannot compare a shark bite to a dog bite.

>>83859177
Most people are also only around in 3 feet of watet. It's like that stat that most car accidents happen within a mile of the house. It's not because it's more dangerous it's because most likely that's where people are driving.

>>83860516
Nah, we're talking 3-4 foot long sharks here. They mainly feed on small fish and stuff. Their bites aren't going to do that much damage to an adult.

>>83860941
Now I feel like you're just fucking with me. A four foot shark could certainly do plenty of damage to a human adult. It's not going to bite your leg clean off but could easily lacerate you down to the bone.

>>83861225

I have never been so terrified in my life.

fuck swimming in the deep ocean. that is so stupid to me. it's like being in the middle of a forest in the middle of the night unarmed alone. except the forest is on land, you know, where you evolved to live and fight for your life. whatever sea creature might be swimming below you that thinks you might be food, well that's their turf. we are like helpless babies in the water. the fastest swimmer on earth couldn't outswim 99 percent of sea creatures.
