Can wetsuit design prevent attack by shark?

[mojaveman]

Australian swimmer Hanish Jolly shares the genesis and theory behind a line of wetsuits that are designed to prevent shark attacks.

I'll believe him when he puts on his designer wetsuit and goes for a long swim in shark infested waters and survives. :D

Salt water fish have some of the most exotic skin jobs you could imagine. They all get eaten at some point. It's a top down predator scenario.

The color spectrum fades to black as the water gets deeper. Most all color is gone at 200 ft.

Sharks have very good day & night vision abilities, but they also rely on smell, vibrations and electric/chemical sensors.

His blue/black outfit may help someone disappear at 100 ft, but on the surface you will probably look like a seal(read meal time).
The black & white strip, who knows.

I would not be the 1st on the block..
