Dumb color choice question

[sabbath999]

I've heard that blue attracts hungry sharks. They think that anything blue is food. Anyone know for sure?

Yellow attracts sharks, not blue. There was a study done years ago... many divers call the color "yum yum yellow".

Of course if you are using the stuff in fresh water cold water diving with poor vis, like I do, yellow helps your buddy see you... not a whole lot of sharks in Missouri.

Everything I own is black, except for my fluorescent, lime-green fins. This makes it very easy for anyone in my family, or an assigned buddy, to pick me out or spot me in lower visibility. I've never noticed any sharks trailing behind me, but then again, I've not seen as many sharks as I would like all together. To each their own.

Good diving, Craig

Maybe if you were to wear more yellow, you would find more sharks. Or maybe the sharks would find you.

Etiquette states that the fins should always match the colors in the wetsuit.

Oh-oh... Am I in trouble?
Maybe I should buy a new pair of fins...

The only sharks we have here in Missouri are lawyers.

Well, those ones are everywhere! And they're attracted by any color... specially if it's money-green

Kidding, I love lawyers! Please, don't sue me!
