Fear of Large Sea Animals

Hi, my name is Sean, and I really don't know why, but I have a fear of large sea animals. I can handle fish that get up to two feet long, but any bigger than that, I am deathly afraid of it, especially if it has rows and rows of teeth.

It doesn't matter if it is in a picture or in real life, I cannot handle looking at a humongous sea creature, especially if it has it's mouth wide open.

It is a struggle to go into a swimming pool for me, because even though there is no way, I am scared there is something down there just waiting for an easy meal.

Despite this fear, last summer in the July of 2007, I went snorkeling off the coast of Cozumel and had a great time.
