What image comes to mind when you think of sharks? Most of the time, you may think of negative images such as scary or dangerous. Sharks-themed movies such as 'Underwater' and '47m' are also depicted as scary animals that eat people.

But not all sharks are as frightening as movies. Depending on the type, whale sharks and boulder sharks are mild species that eat plankton. It's big but it doesn't hurt you as much as you think.

Of course there are also dangerous sharks. Occasionally, you can see a shark attacking a person on overseas news, the Great White Shark. This is a shark that should only be observed in cages because it is dangerous. The aggressive sharks featured in the above-mentioned movies also modeled great white sharks. It also has the terrible nickname of "sea predators."

Can you observe this dangerous shark without a cage? Shark Week, a discovery channel program, has created a wetsuit that makes it safe to observe white sharks.

CNet

IT media CNet released an interview with Ende Maine, the maker of the wetsuit, which looks more robust than a normal wetsuit. The appearance is rather armor. Endew explained that the Great White Shark was designed to be as unaware of divers in wetsuits as possible. It is as close as that.

He went through several predecessors when making wetsuits. First, we examined the way in which the great white sharks perceive objects. Great white sharks have a good time in sharks. Not only does it have a good sense of smell, it can also detect electrical stimuli, and the sound is particularly sensitive.

Taking this into account, the producers used a new material rather than the 'neo-plan' to avoid the sound of diversion in the wetsuit. The entire wetsuit was equipped with an LED bulb. This is to make the suit's color similar to the surroundings so it's perfectly camouflaged.

Shark hearing is enough to catch the sound of an oxygen tank. When you use an oxygen tank, you also notice the sound of pneumatic tires every 10 seconds. Because of that the producer developed aquatic respirators. It's similar to an oxygen respirator, so it doesn't make any noise when you drink oxygen or spit carbon dioxide.

Discovery

Ends noted that a major disadvantage of wetsuits is their poor durability. If a great white shark finds a person wearing a wet suit, he can shatter entire armor in just one second.

But he designed the shield to be used by the great white shark, and said it was best to get away with the shield when he met the shark.
