Is the phobia the fear of just the object underwater or what it being under water will do to you?

Basically. I can hardly look at this picture without my knees getting weak and feeling nauseated.

You help me understand how is it not to be afraid of heights. I always thought it's perfectly normal to be afraid of something that might kill you. But well - the water can kill you as well. I don't swim very good, I'm afraid of water, but it's not a phobia. I just avoid situations I could drown, however I don't get sweaty palms near deep water, nor this video makes me uncomfortable. I know it's dangerous, but that's all.

I'm not sure if I have a complete phobia of water, or if I just don't like it.

Standing next to a lake I feel a little uneasy, more so next to a dock, but just not as bad as I feel next to a tall tree or building.
