well i think it depends on the shark.

Forinstance a gay shark would probably prefer pink or shiny yellow, while a
sharkissimo would eat nothing but black, and look cool while chewing it. A
conservative shark would love muncin the blue suit, while a lefty hippie
shark would go for the eco-green diver.

A hungry shark wouldnt care..!

You're welcome Casey. So...did you decide on which color wetsuit to buy ?? :)

I love to both deep sea fish here in Florida and suba dive. I wear a black
3 mm full suit with lime green legs and arms. During my safety stops I just
cannot get over the fact that I resemble one of the many lures or teasers I
use while fishing, only much larger. My solution was to hook up with a dive
buddy that weights about a hundred pounds more than me......hope beeing that
he will look more attractive to the shark than my boney ass. That is unless
sharks do diet in which case that theory just went out the window. All
kidding aside I must say that is an interesting question.

Don't think so. There is a warning put out by some dive shop employees,
tho, that divers who are not color-coordinated will be attacked by sharks.
