'Invisibility Wetsuit' To Protect Against Sharks Launched In Western Australia

 

An “invisibility cloak” to protect surfers from sharks has been launched in Western Australia, the scene of five fatal shark attacks in recent years.

Scientists from the University of Western Australia, with designers Shark Attack Mitigation Systems (SAMS), have unveiled two new wetsuits that they say could save lives in the water.

Based on a breakthrough discovery that sharks are colour-blind, one wetsuit, labelled the “Elude”, is designed to camouflage a swimmer or diver in the sea.

At the other extreme, the “Diverter” sports bold white and dark-blue stripes, and is intended to mirror nature's warning signs to ward off any potential shark attack.

where did you find that emoticon?

I wonder who would volunteer to test out the invisibility wetsuits in the ocean.

I suppose it makes them look less like seals. Apparently that's what sharks mistake them for.
