The one I get the most is the fear of water and drowning.
Which actually leads to the weirdest reason someone gave me to learn how to scuba dive: my mother is terrified of drowning (even though she's a very good swimer and swims regularly) and decided that I must have suicidal tendencies for wanting to dive . So she told me "if you're going to die diving, then I'm going to learn too so that you won't die alone" .
So now I'm looking into the best approach for her to learn how to scuba dive, while she solves a few remedial heal issues (sinus issues due to an accident) and waits for her doctor's clearance .
