Try to get next to a sailboat! They have a nice, big, tall metal mast. 😂

I am not scientist. But maybe fishes aren't hit because they have no metal/alu tank at their back?? Divers are more at risk than fishes.

[@50ftBelow]

Could be but as we understood it the metal does not make a difference. 🐟

[@laurensbeckwith7240]

If metal doesn’t make a difference why did you say get low and don’t touch metal?
