Never Going In The Ocean Again Things that are not smart: Going out in the rain in a wool sweater Not fueling up your car before crossing a large expanse of desert Watching the movie "Open Water" when you are already phobic about the ocean and sharks Ok, I have dreams about the ocean and sharks more than any other dreams. And most often, they are not too pleasant. I have had a hard time going snorkeling 15 feet away from the shoreline in Mexico. I have a shark phobia, and last night, for shits and giggles, I rented "Open Water". Most normal non-pussies might not be freaked out by this movie- I, however, was freaking terrified. The premise of going out into the open ocean to scuba dive and being accidentally left behind because someone fucks up the head count on the boat was something that I could see happening- and indeed, it did happen in Australia (shark central) in 1999. I won't ruin the movie, but let me tell you, the night scenes where the couple was floating in the dark in a thunderstorm with the husband already bit once by a shark and the wife screaming "Don't you leave me out here alone! Don't you die on me!" really sucked. So, don't count on me EVER going with you to scuba dive. Maybe in a swimming pool. And snorkeling? MAYBE really, really close to shore. said the Dread Pirate Ro at 8:25 AM on March 05, 2005 Aarrgh! 0 scurvy dogs said "Ahoy, matey!"
