I was watching a discovery show " I shouldnt be Alive," and these 2 South African divers got losts at sea. It was terrorifying. I was thinking if the ocean didnt contain maneaters it wouldnt be so bad. On the otherhand alot of people are scared of large bodies of water because they feel hopeless in the midst of a million cubic feet of water. What do you think?

Well i'll be very scared but somepeople are braver and won't be some might even go in with sharks but i would say both some a scared because of that fish i forgot it's name it makes it own light and it's very deep or maybe a whale but some might not be scared but just depends on who the person are. But the most likely people would be scared what if you were looking on a coral then behind you a great big whale just charged onto you!!!

Well of course they would be afraid of the ocean!
You can drown from huge waves and exhaustion. You can die of thirst and hunger. The ocean is a huge place, you get sucked in, and no one will ever find you. The undertow is also very dangerous. Hm, sharks are scary. But you have a greater chance of falling out of bed and dying then being eaten by a shark. =)
We fear sharks, because we see scary movies like JAWS. Pop culture has embedded that phobia into us. If you think about it logically though, sharkaphobia is the smallest fear that can happen when you are lost at sea.

Yeah. Some PPL Are Scared of Whales, Dolphins, The Sea Monster Thing in Ireland.

The real reason why people are scared of the sea is not directly because of the creatures in it but simply the sea is not their home and its environment is something not familiar to them. It's just like living to the other country with very small knowledge with its totality. It's just a matter of exposing yourself to the area, the more knowledgeable you are, the bigger the chances of embracing the area and soon you just realize you can no longer leave the area because it is now your home!

Yes, people would still be afraid of the sea. More people drown in it or get stung by jellyfish or stingrays than people getting attacked my sharks anyway. Maneaters are the least of your problem when you're lost at sea.

Yep, I think people would still be afraid. There are about 380 species of sharks, and only 40 of those are dangerous. However, there are LOTS of other dangerous animals in the water, and besides, people have a natural fear of the unknown, and when you can't see what's beneath you, it can freak you out.

I think that there would be a lot of people who weren't scared, or at least a lot less scared! But, I also think that a vast majority of people would still be frightened of it, especially the bodies of water that are not clear (aka: not the Caribbean). It's scary submerging yourself into something that is so large and unknown.

I think that the scariest thing in the ocean is raw sewage. That and starfish. I mean, come on. What the hell kinda creature is shaped like a star. Freaks.

Even though it may/may not contain man-eaters, people would still be scared....esp. if they have "hydrophobia". And some are scared of the marine animals out there.

When a tsunami is heading right towards you, the cause of your fear is something else besides sharks.
