Innovative wetsuits designed by Australian research company SAMS protect swimmers, divers, and surfers from dangerous shark attacks.
Shark deterrent and repellent wetsuits were developed in collaboration with scientists from Oceans Institute of the University of Western Australia.
Warning Pattern Wetsuit
Designed for surfers, it presents the wearer as something poisonous and unpalatable to a shark. The same pattern can be applied to surfboards.
Cryptic Pattern Wetsuit
Designed for swimmers and divers, it makes it very difficult for a shark to see the wearer in the water. Invisibility Cloak for people in the ocean.

Hmm it seems okay but I would need hard proof if I was ever going to buy one of these. Even still, some sharks take a small nibble to check out what the object tastes like.. :L glad I live in the UK…

Wouldn’t want to bet my life on the “invisibility” suit! They have such bad eyesight anyways, i don’t think they home in based on vision!

What if you go missing in the sea, it would be almost impossible to find you.

It’s good to see people developing preventative measures through design, whether it truly works remains to be seen but I know what I’d rather be wearing in the water
