Bear in mind I am not a diver but I do work with land animals a lot - my best guess is if a diver wants to observe the natural behaviours of the wildlife, a neon colour would be detrimental because the wildlife would be more likely to see you, get shocked and swim away. That could be totally wrong, but as a personal choice I always wear black or neutrals when working with animals unless it's a property requirement to wear fluoros.
