1. I have a "almost but not quite" phobia about water
2. which could be from a near drowning while rafting on the Colorado River...I flipped my oarboat in Lava Falls and got pinned under it
3. but it could also be attributed to rescuing a riverboarding client stuck in a huge whitewater hydraulic which was recirculating him..I got him out but I got pulled back into it ..think of a spin cycle in a washer round and round and round , I popped out when the world went fuzzy.
4. Or being a rescue/recovery diver and recovering drowning victims...some had been in the water for a while.
5. But then again, it might be from seeing catastrophic injuries to swimmers caused by reckless boaters...
but I really love the calm (?) of being on , in or near the water
