Re: Lightning strikes divers tank as he surfaced
Wow, a topic I can talk about from my years of storm chasing...  lol 

My guess, the diver died from both.  Lightning will pretty much boil your brain in your skull and rewire your whole nervious system if you live to talk about it. 

It is just bad luck all around and considering that when the lightning hits you, it looks for a the fastest way to ground out, being in the water when struck would cause the lightning to not just discharge from one point like a bullet but more like a plasma lamp where you would have sparks coming off in all directions in the water.  That would really cook your CNS in about 3.5 seconds, or less.
