Are you Afraid of the sea?

I'm not afraid, but I do respect the sea. The creepiest part is all the animals you can't see. It never bothered me as a kid, but now I get more nervous about entering critter territory. I don't like unidentified creatures nibbling on me or thinking id make a good meal. Also undertow can drown you and take you far out to sea. That's scary too.

I like going to the Sea and I love swimming in the beach too because it makes me relax.

Truth be told, I haven't been to the sea, but I hope I wouldn't have seaphobia of whatever it's called.

Not much.I have not visited any sea sight so I am fond of going there. Sea is a good recreational place but if you are not a good swimmer then you should take precautionary measures to avoid any bad incident.

I think anyone who isn't a little wary of the sea is foolish; it's dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, and sometimes even if you do. That being said, you'll never see me staying out of it on that account! I do have a few scars from getting caught in the undertow and being scraped across the rocks, but I still say it was worth it.

Well. I'm not afraid of the sea but I definitely wouldn't want to drown in it

I hope you would overcome someday your fear. Going to the Sea and swimming with the salted water is really enjoyable.

I enjoy going to the beach but I have to admit that some scenes from movies can be terrifying. Even if one knows how to swim, one can never know what crazy man-eating creature is out there.

The lie I often tell myself is that I am not afraid of the sea (or lake or ocean), but that I have a healthy respect for it. But, if I'm being honest, yes, I am afraid. I can't swim, a cousin of mine drowned when I was younger, I saw my mom nearly drown twice, and a student of mine drowned. So, yes, I am afraid.

I have pretty mixed feelings, as someone else mentioned. I LOVE the sound of the sea. The waves hitting the beach. I also don't mind being in a boat on the water (though I get a bit seasick at times). What is a challenge for me is going into the water and not knowing what is down there beneath me. So, I guess I a "look, but don't touch" attitude when it comes to the sea.

Once I almost drowned in the sea. A wave took me under and dragged me for dozens of feet. I was under the water so long that I felt I was going to die. But then the sea let me go and I got back to the surface. My back was really scratched up, but other than that, I was safe. Very scary, but I still love the sea and I snorkel from time to time. I hope the sea never takes me again though.

I've had a lot of nightmares about sharks...

But I honestly have a lot of respect for the ocean. It reminds me of God's power and majesty, and how he's someone to fear and respect, as well as admire and love. I want to draw close as much as I'm afraid of being swept away.

I am afraid of the sea and the ocean too.

Afraid of the sea? Not so much, afraid of not being able to see what is beneath, yes.

I am not afraid of the sea, but I do have a great respect for it. I understand the terrors it can hold and become but I also understand the beauty it holds.
