although i know how to swim, i cant really swim to a deep blue sea because of sharks and dangerous creatures there and also i got easily panic so there is a possible that i will get drowned. However despite of that i still love the ocean. And all of god's gift

Hello acie good day..yes I would be because in the first place I am not a good swimmer and of course the most that I fear is only the shark and nothing else...in terms of creature living in the ocean...how about you are you a good swimmer? thanks for the topic...

Hi acie, I like swimming and I would go swimming in the pool nearby only. It needs three hours or so drive we then could reach the nearest beach. So we would picnic at the beautiful beach once in a while only.
For the sake of safety we usually would have fun swimming in the shallow water near to the beach. After watching a movie about the terrible shark attacking people in the deep sea. It's really scary to see the huge shark biting off the leg of the swimmer. The scene of the bloody water as well as the pained expression of the prey was really horrible in the sea. Since then I would no longer dare to swim in the deep water.
Happy posting

The water in the deep sea always looks calm and crystal clear in sunshine day. Eh…..it’s so nice and cool to have fun in the sea.
I would try it if I were to have the chance sailing in a yacht. Hehe... of course to have a companion as well. Yeah, it’s rather safe to swim in the deep sea water nearby the boat. In case come across any danger, I could swim back to the yacht in time
I haven’t tried island hopping. I believe it must be an exciting and challenging activity. Have you experienced such challenging but delightful game before?
Happy posting

It can be really enjoyable to swim in warm crystal clear water. I love to do that and go snorkeling with a face mask I can put my head under the water. It is amazing to look at all the colorful coral and most of the creatures are harmless. I have snorkeled with reef fish, small sharks, sting rays and a manta ray. I have swam in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. I wouldn't choose to swim in the English Channel because it is too cold. The tropical regions are the places to enjoy swimming in the aquamarine ocean.

I'm also afraid to swim in deep part of the ocean because I'm not a good swimmer I'm only know one stroke which is freestyle but not that good. I'm only learned how to swim while I'm still in college. I feel envy to those who are a good swimmer my siblings are a good swimmer they also learn how to swim in college. My father is a good swimmer but he never taught us how to swim when we are younger.

Hello Acie,
I don't know what to feel,since i haven't tried diving in deep blue sea.
I have tried swimming at some deep part of the sea,and it is very clear,and i love it becoz at deeper part of the sea there's no waves to interrupt my swimming.
But if ever given chances to dive at the deep blue sea with some skilled divers...uhmnn..i guess i would give it a try.
That would be a lot of fun and have my camera and took pictures,and sharks,i just hope i can't took pictures any of my companions being attacked by shark hahaha(joke)

I have gone into the ocean before to swim. It is so big and a little bit scary. I do not like the feeling of seaweed and other things touching me when I am in the ocean. It does seem very creepy. I am afraid of sharks but the beaches do keep an eye out for them so it is not a major concern. I am afraid of jelly fish. They do not look scary and dangerous but they can hurt you very much. When I swim, I like to swim in a nice clean swimming pool the best.

I'm learning the swim these days. As a green hand, I think I'm scary to swim in a deep blue sea. Because I am not good at swim now. I am not sure I can cope with the trouble when I am near-drowning.

I don't think I would be brave enough to swim in the deep blue sea because I am afraid of getting lost. I would be out from shore really far out and I would probably get lost if I don't recognize anything close to me. I am afraid of getting eaten by sharks or other animals that are in the deep ocean. So I would rather stay close to land.

I am not afraid to swim in deep sea water.. it just that, it's so dark at the bottom when you look from above... It is like falling from a sky.. that's what i felt when my group go to the deep sea just to swim..

of course acie, it is but obvious. until and unless you are not a very good swimmer and you are not into a practice of swimming for a long time , yes,, cant do. becasue if you know swimming then too you cant swim in a sea. it is too tiring, you will feel exhausted . swimming in a pool or on a beach for fun for some time is very different and in a sea is very different. i cant think anything if i will be there . i can think of my GOD and HIM and just HIM. thats it. the sharks in there and the whales , just the thought of it will make me shiver.

Hi there, the sad thing is that i dont know how to swim, , my frustration. If i am able to swim i would like to explore and see how good is deep blue sea. I want to see those creatures living in the water but the sad thing is i dont think i can do it, well i wish my daughter will learn how to swim as she was growing now so she will not be able to be like me, really bad in my part, keep on mylotting

I'm thrilled with this discussion. I would love to swim into the deep blue sea. All i need is protective goggles, Oxygen cylinders to keep me alive ;) , Cool and safe swim suit and an high end camera were i can shoot the fantastic creatures underneath. I don't mind the scary creatures inside, in fact i would enjoy having an encounter with the dangerous species. All these will work out if i have a person by my side who knows to swim and guide me ... because I DON'T KNOW TO SWIM :(
