By Diddo shark attack wetsuits
Translate this page:

Dutch designer attempts to break the wetsuit mold.

...By Diddo has come up with some truly original designs in an attempt to challenge the current uniformity of wetsuits.

In his own words, these groundbreaking wetsuits include "a rusted iron diving suit evoking the days of Jules Verne; the anatomic musculature suit as a homage to our inner strength; a wet suit which gives the illusion that the wearer has been attacked by a group of hungry sharks and finally a whale shark patterned suit that celebrates the brilliance and originality of our natural water world."

Yeah, these designs are pretty bold and trying something new is always welcome. But, isn't a shark attack wetsuit just crass and hugely insensitive to those affected by such an horrific occurrence?

After all, would you rock suffocating-in-an-avalanche snow outerwear? Doubt it.

  • Love the idea! I think it's indeed time for a change in wetsuit design. I'm not sure about the shark one, but I love his other wetsuit designs.
