Freedom 7 Shark Shield
The Ocean Guardian Freedom 7 Shark Shield is a product that we have personally been using for over a decade now and have absolute faith in.
To give you a bit of background, Ocean Guardian are an Australian company who are the world's leading shark deterrent technology company. Their devices create a 3D electrical field around the unit that interrupts the short-range electrical receptors in the snouts of a shark, causing them to turn away due to the discomfort. It doesn't harm them at all.
The technology has been scientifically and independently tested, and in Western Australia the government provides a rebate to encourage people to buy the device.
We used the Freedom 7 when spearfishing off the coat of Western Australia where there are several large and aggressive shark species. We have personally experienced the efficacy of the device, and can safely say it has saved at least one of our lives. As a result, we didn't hesitate to bring them on the boat and continue to wear them while spear fishing.
The reaction of the shark in this test is similar to an experience Trent had while spearfishing near Port Gregory in Western Australia.
