A similar example was shown in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl" - Barbossa's cursed undead skeletal troops had no problem whatsoever walking to an enemy ship underwater. Granted, that's an entirely different universe, yet the example is similar - Hades's skeleton warriors won't be stopped by water in and of itself, since the pressure and lack of oxygen won't affect them. Weeeelllll- I mean, even if a human that can breathe underwater would be a bad warrior. I mean- we're almost completely defenceless in the water without our fancy gizmos.

Skeleton warriors are still just humans without flesh, muscles and skin (and brains *SHOT*) which means they are built for aquatic battle. Poseidon's troops however, minus the Cyclopses (Cyclopsi?) and Briares, have aquatic superiority and are built for it. Skeleton warriors would literally be sitting ducks.

(Also just in case people don't know- if lightning kills everything in the ocean, there would be no aquatic life)
