23 Terrifying Experiences of Underwater Divers
The ocean is a scary place. It’s dark, cold and so mysterious that we have no idea what happens in 95 percent of it. Despite this, people willingly go underwater and, unsurprisingly, have some terrifying stories to show for it. For instance, one Redditor will never forget their first dive, when their goggles snapped off and floated away while they were 50 feet underwater. They had to get the attention of their group by knocking on their tank and signaling that they needed help. Another Redditor had an even more traumatic experience when they saw a woman get run over by a boat because she went up too early without getting clearance.
All of which is to say, these underwater stories will make you feel incredibly grateful to be on dry land — especially the one about the barracuda.
