Another reason I find these are so scary is because you have limited mobility under the water and you can’t get out of a scary situation as quick as you can on land and get to safety

Also the fact that you have know Where to go, the reason we run is to get to safety, but there ain't no safety to get too. It's what seems like an infinite abyss where whatever chases you will eventually get you. Hopelessness.

My brother is a diving welder. That means you go under water, under massive floating machinery or ships, and weld. One time, there was a kid going with him on the job because he wanted to be an underwater welder. He’d never really looked at footage of someone doing it, just illustrations of what they do. This would be the first time he’d see something like this. When he was explained how to stay safe under water and how to do simple diving to watch my brother do his job, they went under water. That day he was welding on a massive ship that was still under water. It was near the back propeller. When they went down, the kid came back up screaming after about half a minute. He had this fear but never really knew. My brother knew about the fobia, so he knew what was happening. It was pretty crazy.

Yeah I've always had this, just the thought of being in the water next to a buoy is absolutely terrifying

propellers are generally terrifying to me, wherever they are. but the idea of anything underneath me in water, even when in a boat, is so scary. also, the fact that you could easily become trapped by a lot of these things. especially that railing with steps at the end. ugh.

Random Boat: [Sinks] Submechanophobia: *"HOLA SOY DORA"*

I am affected by this phobia. I first learned when I was swimming in a lake when I was young and saw a sunken boat (not a bit boat, maybe 13 feet) right beneath me and it terrified me to the core. I remember panicking and swimming as fast and hard as I could away from it to get to the floating dock that was nearby. Ever since then I hate anything man made being underwater. Excellent video! Thank you for teaching me more about this condition.

how will you acquire an APS?

Trying to desensitize myself but I may be making it worse. 😳😬

I have this phobia and a friend ask me "Why those photos makes you inconfortable or scared you?", after think about it, I said I think it's because it's not natural to see a boat, a bike, a car or something man-made underwater. And that why I'm getting anxious (it's just a theory I don't really know if I'm right) 😅

I don’t think that picture you showed when talking about thallasophobia does it much justice. It’s not like we’re so much scared of what’s in the water, but what’s terrifying is the void that is the ocean. Looking down and just seeing how it gradually gets dark, with no bottom in sight. Good video!

1:35 is the ever scariest picture for me. I have submechanophobia but planes are the worst , idk.

Awesome video. A couple of ideas I've seen around that might help explain submechanophobia further: 1) When you see something threatening on land, you're well within your power to run and keep yourself safe, but in a body of water, the fact that the danger is coming from UNDER you and is not entirely visible when you may already be in a precarious position of having to tread water is absolutely horrifying. 2) There is something that feels so fundamentally wrong about seeing things that would otherwise have no business being underwater, underwater. It is a completely normal human reaction to look at a car underwater (for example) and feel as if something just isn't right. This might cause a sense of dread that people with submechanophobia might feel.

I think all my fears of deep waters would be solved if i could just see the bottom. Like, in all directions. I know where I am, I know where everything else is, there is no threat.

That sonar bit and the naval minefields made me freak out, I think I have a fear for this stuff now. Regardless, thank you for your videos, very entertaining stuff, keep up the great work!

Pool vacuums made me realize I had this fear. 😂 For me, pictures of submerged chains and the submerged parts of buoys terrify me. 😰

I never knew about this but you just activated my submechanophobia. I almost drowned in the wavepool at West Edmonton mall when I was young, and while I was never scared of water this was so unsettling to me

I remember being in a wave pool when I was little, I would usually stay in the shallow area but I wanted to get closer to where it was coming from, I remember seeing this huge shark statue hanging over the pool, I started to freak out and think if it would ever fall into the pool and come alive, I instantly swam for my life after seeing that

Thanks for keeping me away from the ocean for eternity!

On an interesting note of sonar aboard submarines they will not use active sonar (making a sound as seen in this video) unless absolutely necessary. They will instead use passive sonar (receiving and examining natural sounds) as this does not reveal their location. Great video as always bro.

The moment I figured out I had This phobia was from seeing the “Christ of the Abyss” statue from a picture online. 😨 since then, it has only progressed and now, I can’t even go to aquariums without feeling uncomfortable sometimes

Massive propellers under dark murky water freaks me the fuck out, I was swimming in the ocean when a huge freighter was out in the distance and I could hear the mechanical hum of the engine 😶

I'm afraid of being IN a manmade structure underwater Underwater caves are also absolute hell, but like. They've been around for a while, probably. Manmade things? They're not built to last down there. And might not be structurally sound ...And also, doors are made to close. (If there's something that's closed off in a natural underwater structure, chances are, it's been closed for a LONG time by the time you see it, youre not getting IN there in the first place.) (Anything manmade? Chances are, if there's an opening, that opening was made to be closed at some point. And I don't want to be on the wrong side of that, if I'm on limited air.)

I'm not scared or unnerved or anythin, I just, cry?

I found out that I have this phobia about two years ago and since then I have been fascinated as to why I have it. I have been able to pin point Disneyland being the number one reason for this phobia for me with that huge submarine tank they had years ago. I believe its something different now but I just remember crippling fear of the thought of me swimming in that tank even in the bright of day. Thank you for this video. Really great incites. Especially when talking about not being able to measure distance of an object under you. That struck a chord haha

Congratulations: you have unlocked submechanophobia

The sounds make it more scary. Creaking ship wrecks and such… eugh

When you put the image at 4:00 I dropped my phone out of straight fear

I also have this phobia, I mean it's not like I'm going to cry but metal steps under water freak me out.

I freaking loved this!!!!! I watch a lot of creepy channels and have never heard of this. Wonderful job! Mooooore like thiiiiis!!

I have this specific fear but I had no idea there was a name for it at all. Great video

I think ive just found my new favourite youtuber

first time i ever experienced this was dire dire docks and that one level with the underwater city

I don't have submechaniphobia but that first part actually got me kind of stressed out

I have submechanaphobia. I hate pools and such due to the Drains and everything, I stay in the shallow end due that reason. I hate it so much

I think I got it when I was about 8 years old. We were on vacation in Italy by a lake. When I walked into the water 10-15 meters in, the floor suddenly dropped straight down. I instantly sank under the water surface and when I wanted to swim back to the surface I saw this very big rusty overgrown pipe sticking out of the sudden drop of the seabed. I even touched it! I didn’t go into the lake ever again.

I love the sonar sound I dead ass use it to fall asleep to. Idk I jsut find it relaxing

Im almost certain that the reason I have submechanophobia is from those wave pool machines along with drains at the bottom of public pools

oh my lord i almost died looking at this lmfao

More like this ! Loved it 💯

I have this phobia, it’s not really that bad but seeing this video gave me chills

Graduations four minutes in and he freaked me out

By Seeing your about section I can tell that you live in the Netherlands a place where in the future is probably going to sink underwater

I always wanted to go diving in shipwrecks lol I can't fathom that fear

I still can't properly explain this phobia I have to my friends and family. They think I'm scared when I see a chain attacked to a block, a tire, barrel, or the support posts for a dock. Even the ladder used to get out of the water attached to the dock. I never know how to explain why it makes me freak out. One time I was swimming near some inflatable obstacle course rafts and I freaked out when I saw a chain attached to a block as an anchor. I started hyperventilating and swam back to shore as fast as I possibly could slashing my knee on a rock in the process. Another time when my family went diving near an abandoned mine, and the water was crystal clear, the support posts for the dock was too much to handle, even the bottom of the boat we were on too. To this day I still don't really know how to explain it, I find shipwrecks and stuff super cool, but I can not go near them, only see them in photos.

The one that got to me the worst was the intro video, i dont know why but that one absolutely shook me to my core

i actually love this, makes me so calm and happy

Maybe some sea creatures just wanna sit down and catch their breath while swimming

Excellent video. Your entire channel has some very good content on it.I have no idea how this hasn't blown up. Remember me when it does. I have submechanaphobia. Like someone else on the comments said, manmade things underwater are not natural. For things like planes and ships specifically you know something very bad happened, and if it is even slightly inconvenient to access there are likely still bodies in it. Knowing that makes it feels like a grave and I should leave it alone. Not to mention how dangerous they are to be near or in, that adds more to it.

I have it bad. Man made industrial intakes and canal works. Cold murky water. The horror.

I suffer severely from this phobia and now I want to be a maritime archeologist so explain that one lol

Good job you have no dislikes 👏

real Submechanophobia = 6:50 I don't get why there are so many youtube videos saying underwater animatronics = submechanophobia it's 101% more things like, wavepool chambers, dam intake pipes, pool drains etc.

I have this it’s just because of pools and weird drains it creeps and scares me and also it’s because of final destination scene

I remember going into a ship for a haunted house thing and I remember going through the propeller room and seeing it and being like scared for some reason

The movie "The Quest" (a.k.a. "Frog Dreaming") is good for this!

idk if this counts but me, my brother, my uncle and his gf went to some lake, it was a pretty big lake, anyways we went to this water park that was by the lake and there was like a party boat that had slides on it that lead to the lake (dont ask me why they were there idk) and one of them was called the kraken that had its front half in the water like it was sinking, the slide was disconnected and on the sea floor, well not sea, u know what im trying to say, anyways, it was docked too, if they didnt want it their (because it was good for nothing at that point) they would have moved it, or they had it for decoration, or just didnt feel like moving it. any ways, we were on our floaties 3 chair floaties and 2 pool noodles i used as floaties, we swam past the kraken (the name of the ship, not the actual kraken) and we chilled by this platform on the water (still close to land) we started heading back to explore so more and it was that moment i kept my legs above water and clinged to the floaty like gum on a shoe because i had seen the disconnected slide and it was clear as f-cking day too TL;DR: got scared sh-tless because i saw a disconnected slide below sea level at a lake

5:15 that's what sonar sounds like in movies. Sonars in actual life sound different.

The first time I realized I had this was when me and my friend went on the Jurassic park ride in universal studios and the Dino animatronic that just pops up out of the water

the fact that sunken objects once belonged to people and were later reclaimed by the ocean.. no matter what we make, nature will always have it back

Submerged boats and cars Don't freak me out as much, the only things that really frighten me are old mechanical things like propellers and intricate things such as the interiors of submarines. I guess the anxiety comes from the fact that these things were once working and being operated

I myself as horror enthusiast ironically have submechaphobia but I still search for more scary things and maybe even write an horror stories for time to time.

This phobia is so bad for me that i start to cry just at the sight of a sunken object

It's always the propellers dude

Great video! My Submechanaphobia is only because of my anamatonaphobia from when i was a kid. My parents used to have to drag me past the chuck e cheese animatronics to use the bathroom. I would be crying the whole way

My earliest memory is being in a highchair in Chuck E Cheese and seeing the animatronics perform. I remember screaming, terrified for my life, unable to escape. No one paid any attention, because of course a toddler in a highchair is screaming, but I really thought that was it for me. I've never been so scared of anything since, and to this day I don't like animatronics. They're ok when they're just the machine skeleton, it's when they have their skins on that I really don't like them.

When I see these pictures I can’t help but imagine swimming above them, looking down and something forcibly pulling me down to them

I have this phobia. I find the ones that trigger it the most are when objects that are clearly not meant to be underwater, are under the water. Such as chairs, weird artistic statues, and sunken ships. It messes with the schema of things. It is unexpected and it just doesn't 'look right'.

only me find really cool things about these pictures?I would love to dive around most of them

I have the fobia but it branched from natural stuff for example. I used to go swimming down at a creek that had the murkist brown water ever, we went on 4 wheeler to get there which went over a cliff over looking the spot we swam. The cliff had alot of huge fallen over trees that were stuck upside down in the murky creek where we would swim(like huuuge trees). I believe I was 6 and my friends shoe came off and drifted to the very back of the creek that was right up against the cliff, in the shade, next to the sunken trees. I went to retrieve it, the water was colder and I never released how huge the trees were until i was right up against them, branches skimming my legs and I coudnt touch the bottom. I swam like crazy back and after that I never went down again- mostly because I found out alligators lived in my state.

Haha I used to be afraid of drains, grates and the water pumping holes at the side of pools for some reason. I guess I thought I would get sucked in or something. I was especially afraid of the large wave actuators at the deep end of the wave pools at water parks. Behind giant grates. I don’t really have this fear anymore but it was pretty real growing up.

I’m starting to warm up to pictures related to this fear, I think a lot of them are cool and interesting looking even though it does make my heart race a little. Though when I am actually there in the water with something I don’t like that’s when I’ll actually get scared but it’s on the inside mainly, aside from swimming fast. I’ll even be scared of natural objects such as rocks and logs. Example I went to a beach once and there was a big boulder on the sea floor, I couldn’t touch the floor either and whenever I was near it I kept hearing a high pitched filtering sound so yeah I was like nope lol. It was in an open space too, no other rocks or life around it so it was odd

its only the deep down dark abandoned boats and planes and shit that bothers me. the humongous propellers nd shit and it takes so long to get away while youre in water. that pic of the cockpit of the airliner in the ocean is creepy as fuck, that and the propellers

Got mine from the Titanic movie, the shipwreck part

Really only makes my scared when it’s dark lake water with man made thing such as buoy chains, drains, dams, and random pipes that are body size in width. These only become visual really close up to it or by feeling it on your body without seeing it. Makes me fight or flight.

Underwater animatronics are the worst!

I’m definitely a little freaked out by this but why do i feel the need to go diving still.

Intresting fact about sinked submarines They might Still have their tripulation inside

Ole boy said, "The ocean is terrifying. I mean, literally terrifying. If you're not terrified of it, what are you doing?!" LOL

Honestly my relation to fear like this: I do not wish to be ignorant, I do not ignore my fears, however I do tend to distract myself until I have the time to deal with them and because of this I will always have something creepy when I least expect it. Somehow this doesn’t hurt my psyche that much as I can, most of the times, eventually deal with my fears by confronting them… I feel blessed to have those capabilities that maybe I acquired sometimes ago
