I wonder if this guy was wearing a seal-colored wet suit? That was the first thing that I thought of after reading this article. The guy who was killed in Solana Beach was wearing a black wetsuit.

I don't know anything about a shark's eyesight but if they can see colors they just might avoid something that does not look like their typical prey. Maybe someone should develop a line of wetsuits that sets surfers and swimmers apart from what a shark considers to be food.

Just a thought.
