+5 DR for zero weight and restriction in mobility on a regular divers suit or prison guards uniform would be
amazing. Not sure how many prisons would pay for it, but for a shark-suit, nice. Expensive, but zero weight and drastic increase in protection (from shark bites as well as from coral abrasion, irritable spiky sea creatures, etc). Even if you go ahead and put shark mail over it, it's going to be a big help for reducing the severe bruising after being bitten hard.
It'd even be worth it for bomb disposal techs on super-thin rubber gloves and face protection - they'd be one use because after any damage they'd be useless, but reducing chance of crippling injury to your bomb techs is really worth it.
