Yesterday a scuba diver was killed by a lightning strike upon surfacing from his dive.

Stephen Wilson was struck when he was about 30 feet from the back of the dive boat according to witnesses.

"We saw the paramedics arrive. There were about three trucks and they were trying to resuscitate the man," Christopher Virtue, who witnessed the accident, told a television station.

Fellow divers reported seeing the event unfold, and immediately brought him to the boat, where CPR was initiated immediately, but he could not be revived.
