And yet 3 people were killed wearing one.




I've always thought it's bull**** anyway. The evidence that a shark cruising past is annoyed by it, is not the same as a two tonne animal already doing 30kph straight toward you as it's decided to attack. Then at the last second it gets an annoying snout tickle from an electric thing. It's too late. The testing is not real world in that sense.


You're correct. www.sharksmart.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/1193021/Effective-methods-for-assessing-the-effectiveness-of-personal-electrical-shark-deterrent-devices-including-what-was-achieved-for-Aim-2.pdf

The only shark deterrent device with positive empirical evidence is shark shield/ocean guardian. It's currently not in production after going into administration. If you've been next one you realise it puts out a decent voltage & current. Magnets don't appear to work.
