Ocean Guardian Shark Shield FREEDOM 7

Provides powerful protection when diving, spearfishing, freediving, and kayak fishing.

Powered by Shark Shield Technology, the Ocean Guardian FREEDOM7 gives you up to 6-hours protection from all predatory sharks – including Great Whites. Lightweight, easy to wear and designed to fit seamlessly with your existing gear, it offers powerful protection and peace of mind – so you can get out there and explore the ocean wilderness.

Features :

• The only scientifically proven and independently tested electrical shark deterrent technology for diving - and proven to deter Great Whites.
• Creates a powerful protective electrical field approx. 6m (20') x 4m (13') in diameter that turns sharks away.
• Shark Shield Technology can only repel sharks and rays. It does not affect or repel fish, crocodiles, dolphins, whales, or freshwater creatures.
• Does NOT attract sharks.
• Used by Australian & US Navies and mandated safety equipment in some industries.
• Built-in rechargeable lithium battery provides up to six-hours of continuous operation, and over 1000 charge cycles.
• Easy to see LED operational status including battery life indicator.
• Includes charger with international power adapters (Australia, USA, Europe, and Asia).
• Not suitable for children under 14, pregnant women or those with certain medical conditions. Read more here.
• Covered by Ocean Guardian's Standard Warranty

The FREEDOM7 consists of a 2.2m (7.2') trailing antenna which creates the powerful protective electrical field. Two Marine 316 stainless steel mesh electrodes are built into each end of the antenna. The antenna is connected to a small blue power module, housed in a neoprene pouch on a convenient Velcro strap worn on the ankle.

Sharks have short-range electrical receptors in their snouts called the “Ampullae of Lorenzini” used for finding food. Ocean Guardian’s Shark Shield Technology has been developed to specifically take advantage of these highly sensitive receptors, creating a powerful three-dimensional electrical field which cause spasms turning the sharks away, including Great Whites.

As fish are without these receptors, Shark Shield Technology has negligible effect on them. Shark Shield Technology consists of two electrodes, which when both are submerged, emit a three-dimensional electrical field surrounding the user or area. When a shark comes within a few metres, the field (emitted by the device) causes the shark to experience muscle spasms.

This does NOT harm the shark in any way, merely producing a high level of discomfort.

Shark Shield Technology is the world’s most scientifically proven and independently tested electrical shark deterrent.

Nothing is more effective.
