Water is not so much conductive, it's the minerals in the water that conduct electricity so well. But then again, the funny thing is that if you are in the ocean, lightning hits the water and spreads horizontally instead of vertically.

So yes, you could shock multiple people, electricity would not imidiately dissipate into the ground if it was fired in a body of water.
