Years ago Miles had a SA Predator wetsuit that was just two colors (pale blue & black, although I seem to recall they did other colors including green & black) in a few large, amorphous areas. It looked like it might have been inspired by an Orca/Killer Whale. Don't know how well it worked by Miles speared a lot of big yellow fin tuna and large reef fish, so can't have been too bad.
I tried to find a link for the above wetsuits but eventually found only these ... the man himself in said wetsuit:
(A different company to Predator.co.uk who seem to make dry suits - available through Rabitech it seems they are made in Cape Town:

I had to look up [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzle_camouflage"]Dazzle camouflage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]
...but then recalled seeing a TV documentary on its use by the Royal Navy - although they don't seem to bother with it these days, perhaps too much hassle to paint, or maybe it just went out of fashion?
I like the idea. I wear a black suit, I guess in some conditions it casts a pretty big silhouette but at least it doesn't reflect much light under most conditions. It does however make you look a lot like a seal (had a seal follow me around for half an hour once, it nibbled my fins!) - a fish predator, which you'd think might scare most fish, although I guess seals catch plenty of fish so perhaps not. Seals are very playful rather than threatening - perhaps that helps them catch their prey off guard.
Perhaps best not to look like a seal or whale pup around large sharks (e.g. Great White) & Orcas, lest you be mistaken for prey.
