I want to buy a NEW wetsuit (finally,i know the thickness and stuff,but what color)! BUT, does the color of it matter???? may be black is the best becuase you wount see the dirt on it so easily. But all fish/eels reacts different on colors,( i hope i am right)!

So what better to buy, red would defently attrack something :blackeye
 
I tried all kinds of suits, black, camo, short, long i must say i did not feel a lot of difference. I am guessing it would make more difference in areas where visibility is not very good, such as in areas in the med or around some kelp beds, maybe then wetsuits mimicing the surroundings would make some difference. Over here visibility is very good and most of the hunting is not ambush style so thats why i have this opinion.
Again, i would conclude by saying, it depends on the area you fish in and the type of fish (accordingly hunting style).

cheers

The fish dont really see red or so Ive been told but they will see you and your shape, so I wouldnt worry about it unduly. Whats more important is how you present yourself in the water, calm and quiet is the way to be. Im convinced a camo wetsuit can be benificial to an experienced spearo but maybe not so for the beginner, I'd stick with black or green
