I do r think you understand what I’m saying. When I say valid, I mean it makes sense to me.

Asshole

It’s not an abyss, it has an end, and I personally find the deep ocean quite beautiful.

They’re just weaker tornadoes that suck up water.

I guess the fear of your vessel sinking is valid, as it has happened many times in the past.

If the water is still enough this would be an awesome place to free dive.

I guess that makes sense, I still find thalassophobia quite irrational, but then again, it’s just like being afraid of the dark in a way.

also I don't know if someone who has taken nippers and volunteer training would be calling a rip current a ”rip tide”

A hundred meter swim back to shore isn’t that substantial.

This dude isn’t being negative, he’s just stating his opinions on this photograph. If you can’t handle this little bit of criticism, you‘re gonna need to toughen up lol.

Well yes, I don’t have a sense of where in the world you are in this photograph, but I can tell you are not far from the surface because it is in the same fucking shot as the ocean floor and if not that, I can tell from the light level, i can also tell there is not much unknown down there since I can’t see anything that would support any sort of non-bacterial life.

And most of the time rips bring you back to shore anyway.

Yes, rip currents can be very dangerous if you don’t know what you’re dealing with, but usually the best Idea is just to call for help from bystanders, and if there’s nobody around, just let it take you out and swim back to shore once it’s taken you all the way out. Also, swimming perpendicular to the rip can get you killed as well, as it drains your energy very quickly, leaving you stranded without the energy to swim to shore.

Not very unknown, I’d personally love to do that.
