I am sure...none have been discovered....is not a ver big chance...their ancestors where aquatic, then they came to land, with adapted breathing apparatus, book lungs, and why would evolution make two different lineages, one with book lungs, one with normal lungs or gills....Same reason there are no underwater giraffes or flying rhino's...adaptation is not always the case....there is no need for scorpions to become aquatic and thas been the case since they started living on land...

Euscorpius carpathicus is probably the species. I've seen it mentioned that they can be found in tidal caves. I've seen it mentioned in a few places, none of which I would take too seriously.I'm not getting all "what if" here, or pointing to a single resource, but in Rubio's book, he mentions littoral scorpions that live in the inter-tidal zone. What are those...?

Michiel,
You are aware of beta splendens or betta fish that have a labyrinth organ and gills like a fish. Both allow the fish to breath air.

They do look the same, and are both arthropods, but as Michiel stated, they are not arachnids. Cool picture. I would wonder, however, how large the scorpion would be, and why it would need to live in the sea...No...crustacea are close related but no arachnids...
