It sounds scary, and caution around electricity is always good, but underwater is about as close to earth ground as you can get. Besides, the overcurrent protection on that receptacle circuit almost certainly tripped out the millisecond water entered it.

Yeah...playing around with electricity is one of those things where you know the truth, but you're never brave enough to prove it to yourself. It only gets proven by accident, as in "oh my god, I'm still alive....I guess I was right!" haha
