I dont know if its normal, but I have the same promlem - Not to the point where I get scared in the shower, but I dont swim or go near the ocean for this reason.

Even if I see like a blue whale swimming in the deep abyssal ocean on the Discovery Channel, I get completely freaked out, and change the channel. Anyways, youre not alone.

I'm the same, I don't even like crossing a bridge.

It's actually rather funny; I don't have a fear of heights, but of depths.

You sure you didnt almost drown in your past life, I love water, but dont like going underwater, unless I'm in the Ocean, but not too deep, scares me

i prob did drown in my past life.
i heard that our fears have to do with our past lifes.

i thought i wrote that i was pushed in the pool wen i was a child by someone and drowned for a few seconds.

When I am on a ferry or boat if I look down at the water and it looks dark and I can't see the bottom then I get scared. Perfectly normal!

Me too! To this day if someone tries to dunk me in the pool I FLIP OUT. Totally normal. Maybe he/she almost drowned and then blocked it out to cope?

It sounds like you're scared shallow water.

It sounds like you just have a REALLY intense fear of drowning/water. You didn't specify if you're scared of swimming/oceans/pools etc. But it's a pretty common fear so I'd say it's normal but if you really can't deal with your fear you should talk to someone.
