Default Lightning Hits Diver's Oxygen Tank, Kills Him

I am a certified diver myself, currently working on my instructor certification and this is the first time i have heard of this happening.


DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. -- Lightning struck a diver's oxygen tank as he surfaced off Florida's Atlantic coast, killing him, authorities said.

The 36-year-old man was diving with three others Sunday off a boat near Deerfield Beach, about 40 miles north of Miami. He had surfaced about 30 feet from the boat when lightning struck his tank, said Deerfield Beach Fire Chief Gary Fernaays.

The other divers struggled to get the man back into the boat and radioed for help, Fernaays said. The victim, whose name was not immediately released, was rushed to the beach, where a rescue crew gave him CPR. He was later pronounced dead at North Broward Medical Center in Pompano Beach

I've never heard of this either. I hope the other divers or someone on the boat was capable to start CPR, even if it wasn't effective.
