PADI certified so no but I have a DEEP respect for water/ocean though.

Was in the Navy for 20 years and spent a lot of that time at sea.
There is an incomprehensible amount of deep water out there. Its impossible to describe the vastness of it almost. The thought of falling overboard and watching the ship disappear into the night always scared me."To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

Like others have said... I hate open water and if I can't see/swim to land from where I am (even on a boat), I get very unnerved.
Won't do cruises and just generally try to avoid large bodies of water. I even get freaked out flying over water. The thought of hundreds or thousands of feet below you... thousands of miles in all directions of just - unrelenting water. Nah.
I do enjoy swimming in calm waters among reefs and stuff though.
It's hard to imagine badasses thousands of years ago built ships and sailed the seas
