A shark suit is a body cover suit made of chainmail worn sometimes by scuba diving scuba divers to protect against shark bite. While the wearer will feel the full pressure of the bite, the suit prevents any concentration of force from the shark s teeth and effectively prevents any true damage to the wearer s tissue other than bruising. A standard shark suit cannot be guaranteed against a great white shark bite which is so powerful that an especially heavy suit must be worn. Development In the late 1970s, marine biologist Jeremiah Sullivan developed a flexible suit of armor for divers to wear while working around sharks. Often referred to as Metal Mesh Shark Suit, Chain Mail Anti Shark Suit, Steel Mesh Shark Suit, etc. Its actual name is the NEPTUNIC Sharksuit. The technology Sullivan developed and continues to advance is now known and used throughout the world. Construction A typical shark suit is constructed of extremely tightly woven steel or titanium rings covering a standard neoprene wetsuit . A shark bite will not be able to penetrate the rings, because the jaws will be shutting too slowly and the shark s muscles will not be able to cut the metal. Similar to chainmail, divers wearing sharksuits can suffer from broken bones from the sheer force of a shark chomping down on a limb.

A player must follow suit if that player has cards of the leading suit in his hands. If not, he has the choice of playing a Trump card games trump card to possibly win the game, or rough waste a different suit. It is also possible that the specific deal has no trump . In that case, any card other than the leading suit played has no value, in most trick taking games. For example, consider the following hand TRUMP Diamond North A K 4 9 East Q 10 7 5 South A 3 2 J West 5 5 6 2 North leads the deal with King of spades K . Now, all the other players must follow suit, i.e. play a spade card. East has a spade card, and thus must follow suit by playing 7 . South, however, does not have any spade card, and thus is allowed to play any card he wants. If he desires to win the deal, he can override North s K by playing a diamond card diamond being the trump , for example J . If he does not want to win the deal, he can rough any other suit, such as 3 . Let us assume that he plays J , overriding North s card. Now, West still has to follow suit, since he has a spade card, and plays 2 . South s trump card, gives him an opportunity to escape following suit, and he wins the deal.
