Is this about those Picasso's? 

buy it....it won't matter, if youre really that concerned, buy some fabric paint and camo it up yourself.   :smt004

Not concerned just asking for input because the thought popped into my mind. Buying a new suit and painting it isn't something I would ever do. But thanks for your opinion..........if I need anything tagged I'll be sure to call you holmes :smt044

lol...then no.....it doesn't matter.  If scuba guys can run neon colored tanks, make a ton of noise, rock some neon colored 90's era wetsuits and still get fish then I don't believe the fish care.

So you're saying ... if a diver looks like a lure, he/she must SOUND like a lure too.  The SCUBA is the rattletrap of the diving world.

I was told that camo patterns breaks up the shape of the diver so fish doesn't see the huge image coming towards them.but I have a black suit and rainbow perch always seem to be very curious and always swim over to see what im doing. Now a green vs blue from pics the blue seems to fade into the water better
.to be safe id use what bigjim use
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

I was in black for years, that worked fine, and when I finally got a nice closed cell suit I got green, but don't think it matters at all. I speared a couple of years ago in blue water with some guys in Australia and we had all solid black, brown camo, and green camo. All got fish!

You've probably seen guys with flasher tape on their fins to bring in curious yellowtail or wahoo in the warm waters. The way blues and blacks are curious, it might just bring them closer or distract them from the big creature holding the speargun.

I have a blue Picasso got it for a steal, thanks to red triangle spearfishing, and have never experienced a problem or notice a difference with a dive buddy with reef green suit. I even have green reef fins so if color does matter im all over the place lol.

If you dive for abalone though, you have to use green or black. Abalone eyes are very sensitive to blue and they will immediately clamp down as you get close.  So keep that in mind Antonio.
