“An Australian research firm Thursday launched what is being touted as the world’s first anti-shark wetsuit, using new discoveries about the predators’ eyesight to stave off or evade an attack.  The blue-and-white ‘Elude’ range, designed for divers and snorkellers, uses research about sharks’ perceptions of light and their colour blindness to essentially ‘hide you in the water column’, Anderson said. The ‘Diverter’ — mainly for surfers — is based on what sharks perceive as danger signs in nature, with a bold black and white banding patten to imitate an ‘unpalatable food item’, according to UWA researcher Shaun Collin.”
