Going off the deep end

Every time I swim in a new pool with a proper deep end, like 9 feet or more, I have an "oh shit" moment as I come over the edge of the shallow end and see the full depth. Then I usually start laughing while trying not to choke.  It's kind of fun, I hope I don't get used to it.
This is especially entertaining given that I have no idea how deep the water is off Coney Island where I swim in the summers. Doubtless not very impressive in the grand scheme of things but probably more than 15 feet. I wonder if I could see the depth would I still do it... 

"Sure" I would.
