Would you dive with thunderstorms?
This may be a nubie question, but then again, I am one.  Would you dive with thunderstorms in the vicinity?  I'm not talking about during the middle of a downpouring storm, but rather that there's a "threat" of a thunderstorm coming.  Maybe it's not even currently raining, but big, dark clouds all around during a warm, humid summer afternoon kind of thing.  After all, a lot can happen with an hour or so of bottom time.

I know a lot of fishermen wouldn't be caught on the water in a thunderstorm, but wondering about divers.  Also, is your answer different if it's a shore dive versus boat dive?  The electrical engineer in me says that being underwater during lightning is a safe place to be, known as a Faraday cage.
