SE>DB>I was wondering if the flash from the decal would attract any
SE>DB>fish that you would otherwise want to stay away (such as
SE>DB>baracudas.)  I'm new to diving but I know that a flash from
SE>DB>reflective materials on lures used for fishing in fresh water
SE>DB>can cause fish to attack a lure.....or is it all just a wifes
SE>DB>tale.
SE>I dive with barracudas on a pretty regular basis, but I've never
SE>had a problem with one attacking my brushed aluminum (shiny)
SE>dive tanks or my reflective dive flag decals.
I have been able to get the attention of several Barracudas with my
shiny dive knife by slowly flashing it in the sun....I also put it back
in the sheath after they look at it very long...say about 1/2 sec.
