Pretty much the title, I’ve been watching diving vids because I’m a horror junkie and I know what truly scares me. And I just struggle to fathom how these people can do this stuff. Like those free divers who go down like 800ft, like, it’s dark down there… are you kidding me? Are they just built different? Has anyone ever had a conversation or seen interviews with divers?

Edit: I just want to say, I didn’t expect so many responses, so I can’t respond to each, but I have read every single one and it’s really cool. Some of you talking about facing fear and comparing it to other fears you’ve overcome, kind of makes me think I might do it someday.
