    EDIT: I have been told multiple times that sometimes, drowning, once you get past the initial panic can be, apparently, peaceful. While researching, it never came to my mind that water filling your lungs would be pleasant so I never inquired about it further which I guess is my mistake for assuming, however, it does make the perceived eeriness that I talk about, imo, even stronger and had I known would be an interesting fact to include, besides that it doesn't change very much else about the video. Regardless all though it may seem like it, I never meant to imply drowning is the worst way to die (I even mention ways that would be worse beforehand) I simply use it as a transition to say is it "considerably unpleasant" which unfortunetly doesn't seem to be the case either. Thank you. Please stop telling me.
    Hello everyone yall seem to be enjoying the video but two quick things, at 25:22 I show some images of underwater statues and say they were put there "because why not" now obviously that was a sarcastic comment, maybe I could have made a better more insightful observation, but what some people have claimed is that the intention of these statues is to honor the victims of the Middle Passage slave trade from the West Africas to the Americas, now I don't look into the context behind every photo I use because I often use hundreds of images in one video, but criticizing me for making "insensitive remarks" while showing these statues I believe is a bit unfair, because upon further research the original intention of these statues was actually not to honor victims of the slave trade, even though the sculptures (especially the second set) may seem to suggest this by the shackles. This is a statement by the artist themselves:
    "It was never my intention to have any connection to the Middle passage. Although it was not my intention from the outset I am very encouraged how it has resonated differently within various communities and feel it is working as an art piece by questioning our identity, history and stimulating debate."- Jason d Caires Taylor.
    So while people are welcome to interpret the art that way, I believe since the sculptures original intention is not obvious, and that the original intention does not have any connection to the Middle Passage slave trade, I don't think it's fair to accuse me of not being sensitive to the context of these sculptures, when that original context was not actually intended by the artist. Now if I knew this association I obviously would have chosen less controversial sculptures, and if CZcams allowed me to edit in different images I would.

      Until what I though was sea weed was just a gator in the canal who decided to swim past me while I was snorkeling by the dock. Guess my skinny ass wasn’t a good snack. Ever since then I have refused to swim in a canal when I visit him in Florida.

    I have extreme thalassophobia, to the point i can barely get into full bathtubs. I avoid large bodies of water as much as i can. I was taking a flight from Tokyo to San Francisco, almost exclusively entirely over the ocean. What got to me was five hours into the flight, i wake up from a nap to see everyone around me asleep. I looked out of the window and see nothing but blue, the sky was clear but i knew under me was nothing but water. I had a major panic attack just knowing that even though i was thousands of feet above the water. The thought of being over nothing but water for miles around just got to me. It's the worst feeling I've ever got.

    Here's my scary water story (that still haunts me to this day). I used to go to Lake Michigan a lot with my family. Once, I was swimming and I got out a little further than the others. There was no one close by me, and no one in front of me - just the expanse of the lake. This is when, as I kicked my legs to keep afloat, my foot struck something.
    It's hard to describe how it felt, but I knew the feeling immediately. It was like when I was a kid and accidentally tripped over one of my siblings. The feeling of stepping on human flesh. That was what I kicked. I felt my foot land on it, the resistance of muscle and flesh rolling over the bone.
    I immediately panicked. It was like my brain instantly recognized that something was wrong. I remember getting to shore in a frenzy, then looking back. There was still no one in that area. No one came to the surface, no one was playing a prank on me. Whatever I felt, it was still down there.
    I didn't tell anyone what happened. Later, I saw the life guard speaking with a family, but I still don't know for sure what happened. I am convinced that I touched drowned corpse though. I told my family many years later, and someone suggested it was a fish or driftwood, but I simply can't believe that.

Most headed back to shore but I stayed treading water. Got to an area where I thought I could touch bottom and began stretching to try. On the third bounce my right foot touched on the upper thigh / low buttock of a man's body. Needless to say I practically walked on water to shore! The spot was within a mile or less from the pier

    I knew the bottom was around 80 ft. Deep but the fact that I wasn't scared was exactly why I continued to do it.
    I couldn't believe it didn't bother me!

      As a Dane, the deadliest thing we have here is shark that could maximum help you clip your nails.
      Tho that doesn’t stop me from being fucking terrified of being in the ocean, never go out in water that going above my knees, and avoid it if I can’t see what I’m hitting with my foot.
      (Note: technically I think we got a “stone fish” or what’s it called which could send you to the hospital bc of a needle thingy they have for protection which you can accidentally step on lol)

    My dad was really into SCUBA diving when he was younger. I remember him telling me a story a few times, of when he tried cave diving. I guess he got lost or something, and he thought he was going to die there. I remember that it really freaked him out.
    Next month will be exactly one year since my dad died. To say that I'm still a mess would be the understatement of the century. It didn't help that right before my dad died, my fiance's grandma died, so I was already taking care of my ex because she was so sad. Then, a week after both funerals, my now ex fiance abandoned me for some other guy, and I got fired from my job I'd had for almost five years the next week.
    On the bright side, I'm still clean from hard drugs. It's been just over 4.5 years since the last time I used, since the last time I shot up, and I did get a new job in November. I also discovered that exercising is a good way to cope with life. I'm still an emotional mess most of the time, and I still break down crying almost every day because I miss my dad so much and I still miss my ex fiance too.

      I had a very similar recurring dream for years. Mine takes place in an endless ocean, and there are thousands of increasingly horrifying and large sea creatures that swim by. Many are fish/whale shaped, but are all slightly different and exist in a sort of uncanny valley. Some have faces. Some have none. I'm always just walking along an invisible seafloor, sureounded by ghastly, deformed fish and whales ranging from normal to animals the size of small cities. They never hurt me or pose any adversarial relationship to me, they're just there, swimming. I'm extremely thallasophobic, and it started right when I began having that dream hahaha

      I’m deadly terrified if I go the the shore and sand is blocking my vision to see my feet, even it they only go up to my knees(which I never go further then to my knees, except in clear clear water like pools with no animals at all. )

    Fun Fact. That feeling of pain you get when holding your breath for too long isn't from running out of oxygen it's from you bodying telling you that the carbon dioxide in your lungs is building up and that you need to breath it out, a matter of fact is that a grown adult can last for around 6 to 8 minutes without taking another breath of oxygen because your body can still use the oxygen that's still in your lungs.
    That's why when you breath out the contents of your breath is still mostly oxygen, not carbon dioxide.
    As well as the fact you can hold your breath for about 10 to 12 minutes if you inhale pure oxygen, I don't recommend it but its a possibility.
    Useful advise for swimming
    So if you do feel like your drowning and you are still far down in the water, don't panic, you will only make your heart pump faster making your body use up your oxygen, calm yourself because you have more time than your body is telling you, ignore the pain and focus on swimming up to the surface. Once your out, take in a lot of deep breaths and swim to safety and seek medical help if your feeling lightheaded, having a headache, having blurry vision or generally feeling unwell.
    Hope this helps you if you ever get into a situation where you are far underwater.

      HOLD UP. HERES MORE ADVISE FOR SWIMMING TOO ABOUT WATER.
      - 90% of drownings are in freshwater.
      - Its harder to swim in freshwater than ocean water due to the salt making you more byouant. You can float in ocean but you must keep swimming in freshwater to keep your head up.
      - When swimming up more than 20ft, don't swim up faster than the bubbles you exhale. That way you can avoid the "bends". Which is when air gets into your bloodstream due to too fast pressure changes.
      - Swim completely left or right to get out of a riptide. Don't swim against it, you won't win and you'll be dragged out.

    Fun cave diving story:
    My dad is actually a scuba diver, and also has a cave diving license. He went on numerous cave diving trips and told me about all of them, most where mostly the same.. extremely dark, you leave a small cable behind you so you can follow it back to the cave exit, dead ends and sometimes other exits than the one he entered the cave from! One thing that was also the same with every cave was the animals in there, or the lack of it. Sometimes you see small fish or crustaceans crawling around.. but that’s not always the case..
    one time he was diving through a cave, with the flashlight being the only source of light. He got to a point where the cave did a sharp turn, so he couldn’t see what was behind it. When he swam past the corner he almost shit his pants because out of nowhere a manatee was just swimming through the cave! They’re around 3.5m long, so it was a big change from the usual animals you find in there :D
    But manatees aren’t dangerous to humans so he was good 😌
    When he met the jellyfish swarm tho.. that’s another story
    Might tell it if some people are interested!

      He and his diving buddy just swam out of a cave, around 100m down (he’s a technical diver, which means he can go up to 330 feet down)
      After exiting the cave, they had to start their journey to the surface, which can take a long time bc you need to let your body adjust to the drastic pressure change. Otherwise you could get divers sickness which is really not a nice thing..
      The problem was, that above them, there was a giant jellyfish swarm, which they had to get through to reach the surface.
      So they started ascending and trying their absolute hardest to dodge the jellyfish. But one of them got my dad right across the throat! He actually had a burn wound there for weeks afterwards. His diving buddy saw the whole thing and thought it was kinda funny and mocked my dad a bit, which led to him getting stung too😂 in the end they got away with only one sting each, and it wasn’t any seriously dangerous kind of jellyfish. A bit anticlimactic but kinda funny 😄

      I've heard this myth so many times. No. Saltwater in the lungs does indeed draw fluids from your body via osmosis, but that's not blood, and it takes some time to actually build up significantly, even hours, while death by drowning just takes a few minutes.
      There are cases of people who got a ton of seawater in their lungs and died hours later because their lungs gradually filled with fluids (not blood!!!), but it's pretty rare and it's very different from death by drowning.

    Fun Facts For All Families!
    When a body is preserved underwater for long periods of time, their skin can change into a jelly like, slippery texture referred to as Corpse Wax. An interesting example would be the time in the early 2000s when a diver that attempted diving way deeper than recreational diving limits unsurprisingly drowned. His family was heartbroken, so one guy made a promise that he was gonna recover the body. The recovery dive was carefully planned, but all went wrong when the diver attempting to recover was faced with a fatal error. The slippery and gel-like consistency of the underwater dead body was impossible to grip onto, let alone put it into the specially made body bag. The man attempting to recover the bodies tried to resurface, but as he was losing his judgement after spending an increased period of time underwater, he got caught in the ropes he could've been let up with. He ended up drowning, and actually recorded it. The part of the recording that really hit home for me was when he overturned the dead body, and found the goggles of the dead diver peering straight at him, as he stared down death itself, knowing he was pretty much a goner. However, good for him, both bodies were recovered 2 days later after the mission had failed, which means that bold diver guy kept his promise.
    That concludes today's Fun Facts For All Families!

      Also, it hadn’t been the corpse wax that had been the issue. Deon Dreyer, the diver who’s corpse was found, had originally been stuck tank-down in the silt. When David dove back to retrieve him, the silt had been dislodged and he was floating freely. This meant that instead of Deon’s body being in a position to be easily cut free and bagged, the gear had to be untangled and cut away while floating freely. This took too much time, and Shaw went to leave, but found himself stuck on cords previously stuck in silt. Nitrogen narcosis took hold soon after, and he was not able to cut himself free before succumbing to the depths. However, Deon’s body was still tangled with Shaw’s, and when the lines were pulled to the surface Shaw was brought up, with Deon’s body hanging on barely. He was only recovered due to sheer luck, as only a single section of cord that accidentally got stuck to Shaw’s watch caused his body to be dragged up with Shaw. In the end, Shaw kept his promise and left behind a legend in the sport, one that’s drawn many new divers in over the years.

Questionable with their unfolding jaws that are larger than the rest of their body and their pitch black abyss eyes to boot just irks me, plus the fact that they’re all in a pitch black practically infinite abyss where almost every single one of your senses are practically useless
      An honorable mention that more intimidates me than scares me is the mantis shrimp and no they don’t live in the abyss but those things are scary in their own right
