    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.

    I don't think it's normal for you to think a sea animal is going to get you in one inch shower water..... but it's not abnormal. Just something you have to get used to.

    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.

    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!

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

        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?
