Warning - this might be a very silly question. But since I can't seem to be able to google it, here you go:
Is it a 'good' thing to wear bright colors underwater. The reason I ask is that from a safety perspective it seems logical one would want to be seen, in order not to get separated from their buddies. If that's the case what do you recommend? Bright yellow? Bright green? Reflective tape?
On the flip side if it's a 'bad thing' then please explain why as well. Is 'ninja black' just more fashionable? :-D More seriously there are threads about not wearing 'shiny' jewellery, and I imagine that reflective tape might fall under that category, no? Also some people seem convinced that sharks are more likely to go for yellow etc (sounds like nonsense to me but if you look online you'll see a lot of references to it).
What's the general consensus? Thank you!
