What Color Is Best for Shark Wetsuit?

After researching, sharks are particularly sensitive to contrast, so any high-contrast clothing or gear used by humans in the water is particularly visible to sharks. The bright yellow color traditionally used for water safety flotation devices and rafts is easily visible to human rescuers searching for people lost at sea. Many people believe that this may make you more visible to sharks and have been nicknamed " yum yum yellow". However, most sharks are color blind and yellow may not be as attractive as people once widely believed. Therefore, don’t take care of the yellow color of wetsuit so much for avoiding sharks.

Should all of this equipment be replaced with more drab colored items? We should say “yes”, I think most people agree that the benefits of increasing your chances of being rescued far outweigh the minimal risk of attracting sharks. This is because the other accidents are more often than this after comparing.

Meanwhile, divers and swimmers can reduce their chances of interacting with sharks by avoiding brightly colored and high-contrast swimsuits or diving gear. We personally prefer dark blue or black fins, masks, tanks, and wetsuits when diving. This is because the color of deep sea is like dark blue or black. It means you can choose these colors when you customize made wetsuit.

Always wear your dive computer under your wetsuit cuff, which eliminates the possibility of light reflecting off the watch face attracting sharks or barracudas. Likewise, people should avoid wearing jewelry, as the metal reflects light similar to that reflected by fish scales, which are the normal diet of most sharks.
