I took diving classes to get over an hysterical fear of being in deep open water. Being actually under the surface where I can see whats going on around me works wonderfully, as does not having to exert myself to draw breath. I still feel a bit panic-y when I'm dangling there at the surface, waiting for my buddy to jump in, but I'm fine once I'm underwater.
