I've never dived deeper than the bottom of the YMCA pool and am not likely to- I'd freak, not a shred of doubt.
I'm always impressed by what others can do that I can't.
I can totally relate. The greatest difficulty I have faced was in the first five feet of descent - making the transition from breathing at the surface to underwater has led to some anxiety, first time when I did my open water certification, and most recently yesterday. It only crops up when I haven't been in the water for a long time.
It's a perfectly natural response and something that can be very difficult to overcome.
