Glowbait — Bioluminescence Wetsuit
A biomimicry based project, focusing on the attraction that bioluminescence provides in the water. The suit is made from Fibre Optic cord and two layers of Neoprene, with a waterproof LED torch embedded in the suits fabric. The suit uses blue light that attracts fish in the same way that bioluminescent sea creatures do. The user is able to change the colour of the light depending on what fish or ocean they are diving in, as different colour light attracts and repels sea creatures. Current Spearfishing wetsuits rely on the user’s ability and camouflage to hide away from fish, were my project is intended to attract fish as bioluminescence does.
