Do sharks attack people with colorful wet suits or pure black wet suits?
I'd like to know, since I'll be starting surfing lessons soon and like to purchase my own equipment.
Sharks are attracted because of blood yes, but that isnt the whole shabang. Here is something about sharks, they eat seals, and sharks are dumb. Notice how all shark attacks are mostly to surfers? That iks beacuse surfers when they are out on their surfboard, when sharks look up and see a figure the looks like a seal just floating above them, they take the chance. Black or colored doesnt matter, but just dont swim with seals if you like youur legs, as sharks are mostly at that place. Also if you notice seals kind of can bodyboard in a wave them selves and sharks notice that and mistake surfers. K hope it helps!

It has been known to occur with both. i would suspect when looking up from the bottom to the surface the shark would only see a dark figure regardless. Because of the sun.

It wont make one diffrence. But on tv they seem to like to use black a bit more when swimming with sharks.

it’s not about the colour and even it attacks people by mistakes when it smells blood

Depending on the type of shark that is attacking, if it is a great while he don’t care he wants you anyway he can get you, no matter what.

The color of your wetsuit really isn’t what attracts a shark to you. The smell of blood is what attracts them and there is a study working about the smell of urine… but the color of your suit doesn’t matter.
