Since I'm in South Florida and now in the beginning of hurricane season, (the weather changes here from minute to minute) suppose I ascend to find a lightning storm.
I'm not really even sure how to word this...
I know what effects lightning has in water. I felt a charge while in a lightning storm, when I was putting my boat on the trailer, bare footed in the rain.I felt it come up through my feet and out my hands while I was touching the (metal) trailer.I remember jumping around like a silly ***!
My question is... What would lightning do to a diver under water or waiting to board a boat and are you safe from it's effects at a certain depth?
I've wondered about this but have not asked as to not sound like an idiot.
Thanks for any info! Marc
