If you're not terrified of the water, you might be after perusing this gallery.

And if you think we're just talking out our a** think again. There is a real fear of large bodies of water, also known as Thalassaphobia. Thanks to the subreddit of the same name, we've collected some of the most triggering and anxiety-inducing photos of oceans, lakes, and everything in between.

We may never know what all lies beneath, but the photos we do have are enough to get our imaginations running. Whether it's enormous waves, dark waters, deep lakes, underwater tunnels, claustrophobia, animals, or shipwrecks, we've got it all covered for you in this gallery.

We realize that the ocean is scary but what about freshwater? Black pools? Canals? Murky waters? Don't fret, we've thrown those in as well. So go ahead and close your eyes, hold your breath, and get ready to go under.
