[Choose #1] Live in Fl. give it 15 min the weather will change. if not have dove many times in a storm. just leave my rig in the water til it passes.
|
|
|
[Choose #5] done it in Cozumel before, went down clear came up to a storm !!!
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Canceling seems to be the best for what your describing. I have been in the water when a freak isolated storm popped up. This was back before smart phones.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Considering that most of the 5000 shipwrecks in the Great Lakes where lost due to storms it is not the most brillant idea to be out in a boat, let alone be diving.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] No thanks I have seen whber at lightening does to water. Remember basic physics, when mixed water and electricity is not good for the human body.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] more than likely would also wait to see if storm passed before hitting the brewskis
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Beautiful light show at a night dive, be safe stay at 30’ and watch
|
|
|
[Choose #1] I would stay under until it passed! haha
|
|
|
[Choose #2] I have survived 3 strikes limit, 2 times this year fast moving storm caught us off guard earlier this year, one last saturday moved over us while underwater, it was stricking water above us. I have to admit I was scared.
|
|
|
[Choose #3] Dove between storms at the Flower Gardens with 15ft swells
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Been slammed around a few too many times in rough seas. I’d rather have a beer.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] done it in Cozumel before.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] only if there was no lightning
|
|
|
[Choose #1] i dived when it was raining on my dry tortugas dive trip. but it was not lightning
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Hummm, let’s see now. Wet conditions, wide open water surface, wearing a big metal tank... I think I’ll go for brewskis!
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Storms blow in quick on the Great Lakes. No since in losing a boat to mother nature. Then again, it would be a fresh wreck dive!
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Metal tank on back=lightening rod on open flat body of water. Stay off the golf course too!
|
|
|
[Choose #4] If in the water already continue the dive but exit quickly when it is time. if not already down let it pass and dive another day.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Hopefully any dive transportation is grounded. If exposed (skiff for example) you may be at serious risk. Also, floating in the water wtih a metal tank you are the highest point to conduct the energy (strike). Know your plan and check the weather
|
|
|
[Choose #5] On land wait it out, on a boat run from the storm.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] I have surfaced in an unexpected T-storm and know a boat captain in Deerfield FL who got hit but I wouldn’t enter the water if a storm was expected.
|
|
|
[Choose #5] If I am already out it is safer under water than sitting in the boat till the storm passes unless a lot of wind & then the boat would not be safe. case by case but I do dive durring storms
|
|
|
[Choose #5] I run for cover. I hate lightning
|
|
|
[Choose #5] If I would be in the Caribbean I would dive. Their lightning is not ’killer’. If in the states, I would not dive at all. Too dangerous
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Dived the eye of 2 hurricanes
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Are you kidding. You not only shouldn’t be diving, if you are in a boat you should get the heck off the water.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] as long as it’s not lightning nearby.
|
|
|
[Choose #3] I’ve dove with a storm rolling in thought we’d get out in time came up to chaos. You could hear the strikes underwater.
|
|
|
[Choose #4] Probably do what ever the dive master suggests..
|

[Choose #5] I live in FL and surfaced with thunder and lightning, not fun
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Its more fun on a nite dive and watch everything light up..
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Don’t know what the weather is doing when i’m on the bottom of the lake
|
|
|
[Choose #5] Wait on shore. (BTW, If already under water when starm begins, I extend the dive and wait for it to stop before surfacing. If it does not stop and I get low on air, I exit very quickly.)
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Cancel dive UNLESS it’s only passing thru, then wait it out.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Watched the lightning from 30 ft on a night dive. Great light show
|
|
|
[Choose #2] There will be another day
|
|
|
[Choose #5] I’d imagine UW would be safer than small boat (while air lasts), but I should learn about UW & lightning before I need to know. Thanks for making me think about this!
