Or..if you are in warm water.... you can use a reversible, one piece, 2 mm camo wetsuit.. Not the typical freedive suit.. Cut similar to most "scuba" suits.. but this one is made of Yamamoto neoprene..

I am not sure if camo suits help too much for SCUBA. On SCUBA it is the bubbles that give you away. That being said, some fish like bubbles (eg. kingfish - they will at times come in to check out what is making all the bubbles) but others like snapper are difficult to get close to with a load of bubbles round.

I freedive and do all I can to minimise bubbles and other noises when stalking snapper through the weed e.g. I will take the snorkel from my mouth before I leave the surface to avoid having a trail of bubbles coming out as I duck dive. I have a camo suit and it works a little (at least in my own mind anyway ... )
