I have heard of different versions of this divice. It sounds great for surfing, but I have to agree, with Bob3, why would you want to scare sharks away. I consider any dive that includes sharks a highlight of any trip.

The people who normally get the most use from the device is the abalone divers. They are the biggest casualties of white shark attacks and they seem to hep. Its not practical for a shark diver because it costs so mush to go out on one of those shark dives (sharks tend to live in very expensive areas) that the last thing you want to do is scare it away.

Technology originated in South Africa I believe and the Aussies knew a smart idea...
A note of warning though: according to the latest info, the device should be turned on at all times in the water, not just when a shark shows aggressive behaviour. This establishes the boundary from the onset. Put another way, within the favourite Great White areas - False Bay, Cape Town for instance - you will probably not see the one that bites you, not with viz often around 5-10m. So, you might not have a chance to turn it on. :10: Amazing animals, to be treated with respect...
