Biggest problem I see is, GWS usually only bite an unfamiliar object when the water clarity is not good. In this instance I'm not sure any color will decrease your chances of Whitey checking you out. However, if this suit was proven to work, even a small percentage, I would wear it!!

  Probably not what you would want to be wearing for swimming in an African watering hole.

You want Shark deterrent?  Go find the LA Kings.  :smt044  :smt005  :smt002

They've done a great job the last 2 years.  :smt010

The video posed some excellent observations and arguments for their choices. The Tiger and GWS definitely reacted differently to the black suit bait drum than the patterned version. I believe they are on to something.

Here are some snips from the video:
