There was a paper written on this subject, it seems to be ok to shock whilst wet, max voltage at a rescuer was about 14v.

I tried to upload it but he file size is 132kb which seems to be too big

If you would like a copy PM me with your email address

RESULTS
Pool Water Test
The grid in Figure 2 shows the leading edge peak voltage
recorded during a defibrillation shock at each
location on the grid during the pool water test. The
recorded voltages correspond to a sense probe position
lying along the line adjacent to each recorded
value. The maximum voltage was 14 V. The peak voltages
that resulted from placing one conductive plate
on the AED and the other on the cement in three
orthogonal positions surrounding the AED were less
than 0.05 V peak per measurement. Approximately 45
shocks were delivered.
Salt Water Test
The grid in Figure 3 shows the leading edge peak voltage
(in Volts) recorded during a defibrillation shock at
each location on the grid during the salt water test.
The recorded voltages correspond to a sense probe
position lying along the line adjacent to each recorded
value. The maximum voltage was 30 V. The peak voltages
that resulted from placing one conductive plate
on the AED and the other on the cement in three
orthogonal positions surrounding the AED were 0.4 V
peak or less per measurement. Approximately 45
shocks were delivered.

I do have the PDF here to host, and I will get it posted for all, but there will be delays due a lot going on at home ATM, bear with me and normal service will be resumed shortly.
