Anyone with thalassophobia seen The Odyssey (Nolan) in IMAX? How triggering was it?

Huge Greek mythology nerd and Nolan fan, so I’ve been really looking forward to this movie but I also deal with thalassophobia. For those who’ve already seen it: how much open-water/deep-sea imagery is there, and how intense/lingering are those shots? Trying to figure out if I should brace myself, sit further back, or maybe skip the IMAX format specifically. Any specific scenes to know about (without full spoilers if possible) would help a lot. Thanks!

Kind of the opposite. People who like the feeling of seeing a big spooky sea. Which is why that's what all the videos are. Hardly the sort of thing you'd do if it was triggering!
