Doesn't this fall into the darwin category... kinda like don't stick your finger in an electric socket.

I think it would. Lighting in south Florida is not a joke.

That sucks... I thought electricity was supposed to disperse pretty quickly in the vast ocean and its impact minimal. I guess this doesn't apply if it hits an air tank.

i think the odds of something like that are really really slim...very unfortunate but I believe the odds of someone dying during scuba diving is something like 1 in 200,000
