Selachophobia? Dude, I didn't even know that word, thanks! Certainly has a smarter ring than my sharkophobia :-)
And okay technically I'm not globally selachophobic - I'm just afraid of the er, alright I don't know the English word, I'm afraid of the "grand blanc", ie the shark we see in Jaws and admittedly in pretty much every single movie that involves killing sharks. But those ones? I just can't! It's 100% irrational as I know that they usually don't even attack humans - though I don't think I could swim in Australia or South Africa or - well, I kinda can't swim if I can't touch the ground with my feet, actually so yeah *cough* I know I'm likely to never ever even see the tail of one in my whole life, but I don't care, I'm still afraid.
And even though I knew there would be some involved in that episode, I didn't know to what extent we would see them and I kept waiting and waiting to see them attack which mens that I might have missed some scenes because I wasn't really looking.
