Hoseless Computers atrracting sharks

[olstykke]

Hi,

I've talked to several people who have given annecdotal evidence that sharks (other potentially dangerous critters) are somehow attracted by the RF of the computer.

One situation that I saw, a guy nearby was spearfishing, blood every where... yet the sharks were gooing straight at a guy with a wireless cochran 200' away.

I'm considering a D9 or atom (leaning to D9). If I get the gist that other people have experienced this.

Thanks

I've been diving with hoseless computers for 10 years. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be attracting sharks. I recommend the D9.

Not in my experience, unfortunately.

If hoseless computers attract Sharks, I'm going to have to get one!!!

I love taking photos of sharks!!

This is acutally pretty funny.........only in a community of divers would you find the majority PRAISING a product that attracts sharks!

Sharks and other predators attacking divers who use hoseless computers??

Sounds like God culling the human gene pool.

Propagation of RF at the frequency AI computers use is measured in a maximum of a few feet. No matter how sensitive the animal if its more than 30ft away its got near no chance of picking anything up so wont be attracted.

Whoo hoo! Three of my buddies and I all have the D9! I better carry my camera more often!!!!

"These electrical cues would be meaningless to sharks, were it not for the astonishing sensitivity of their ampullae. Studies by Adrianus Kalmijn, a pioneer in elasmobranch electroreception, have demonstrated that some sharks -- such as Smooth Dogfish (Mustelus canis) -- are able to detect low frequency (from about 0.5 up to 8 Hertz) electric fields as tiny as 5 nanovolts (billionths of a volt) per square centimetre. In 1998, graduate student Steve Kaijura demonstrated that newborn Bonnethead Sharks (Sphyrna tiburo) can detect electric fields less than 1 nanovolt per square centimetre. This is equivalent to the electric field of a flashlight battery connected to electrodes some 10,000 miles (16,000 kilometres) apart in the ocean. Such incredible electrical sensitivity is over five million times greater than anything you or I could feel and is by far the most acute in the Animal Kingdom."

Leaving an uber-race of smug cyber divers?
