Thalassophobia can include fear of being in large bodies of water, fear of the vast emptiness of the sea, of sea waves, sea creatures, and fear of distance from land.

      I was wondering the same thing... Why did it take so long for her to decide to go on that boat? How far away was the boat any way? It seemed like it took a bit of them for the boat to come to them... But in any case, I would have jumped right into the boat at the first chance possible.. ESPECIALLY if it was a tiger shark... Im definitely not going to just wait to see if he'll go away. They should be thanking every deity out there that nothing happened.

      Thank you service as a lifeguard and for your comment. Shark attacks ARE prevalent. People have to remember that the data on shark attacks are REPORTED attacks and the majority of that data is collected from the U.S. and Australia. This video proves that sharks actively hunt and stalk humans. There is a CLEAR pattern of them singling people out who are alone and/or in small groups. The same predatory way they do to their usual sea prey.

    Those talking bad about her weight and body shape need shut up. Because they obviously don't know what they are talking about when it comes to long distance swimming. She's actually in really great shape. She's just prepared for the large amount of calories (about 14,000 cal or more), carbs and fat she's about to burn. This isn't just like running 25-30 miles or swimming in a pool. When you include the current, waves, and temperature, she is burning more calories than most of you ever will in one day. She needs to stock up on carbs and body fat while training so she can complete the long distance swim. Otherwise a slender person would've passed out from exhaustion and a muscular person would've struggled to stay a float. Shes definitely gonna drop some serious weight by the end of her swim. This is all about endurance and technique.

      No, she will not drop that much weight. Her weight (fat) gives her updrift, at the cost of more restistance in the water. She is heavier than she needs to be, which makes it more admireable. Trying to claim she will lose 40 lbs of fat in a day is not admireable.

      Use your brain before you type please... What would you have done just nothing? The kayaker further deterred the shark from getting closer.. Its pretty fucking simple.

      Well.. underwater or not, you're still creating a form of deterrence. Whether or not it greatly impacts the sharks decision making is beyond me. However, it is better than NOTHING.
