Used Book in Good Condition
I wish you the best of luck. As other people have stated - diving and swimming are two things. I am super afraid of swimming in the ocean. Diving is okay. Actually diving is great.

However: IF you come to the conclusion you cannot do it - don't force yourself to dive. Quite a lot of people can't dive for various reasons. There doesn't even need to be a trauma involved, so if you can't do it, chances are you just can't. There's a good chance it doesn't have to do anything with your thalassophobia, so it doesn't own or define you.

Book tip: Monika Rahimi is a German dive instructor and author. In her German books she writes a great and insightful deal about the fears and anxiety surrounding diving. I don't know her English stuff, but if it is half as good as her German stuff this is a great book to understand fear and anxiety connceted to water.
I'd actually recommend that to everyone. Even those you are completely fine.
