I personally have been aboard the same research vessel used in the testing of these units on a separate cage dive with great white sharks expedition. What they have neglected to tell you is that that have "chummed" the water with tuna guts to attract sharks to the area. They also didn't tell you the same buoy that the shark shield is attached to in the water has a big piece of tuna attached to it ALSO!!!

The un-official verdict was in most cases (all bar 2 to my knowledge) the shark shield was enough to deter the shark, but in this one occasion it wasn't. Speculation can range from the extreme it doesn't work to the logical that maybe the shark was sick/hurt and withstood the electrical impulses emitted by the shield for an easy feed and snapped the wrong thing attached to the bouy.

More people die each year worldwide by falling coconuts, hippos, drownings etc than by fatal shark attack!!! The world wide average is less than 8 fatal shark attacks per annum.

Doesn't surprise me - do you realize what kinds of things have been found in sharks over the years? It's amazing. I saw an exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Natural Science that had an interesting array of things. Amazing. probably could do a search for Odd things eaten by sharks.

frndlybnny — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 23:41:22 EST

Those sense-organs are called the ampullae of Lorenzini. These organs are present in all elasmobranchs, which include sharks, skates, rays, and chimaeras. They are filled with an electro-conductive gel that helps the shark sense the electrical impulses the brain sends to the muscles. I think you just got SCIENCED! I knew that Enviro Sci degree would come in handy someday...

Ha ha! No, seriously though: a shark will fuck your shit up.

it's funny that it appears to have totally backfired, but the concept isn't like the bear-repelling rock.

sharks DO have an organ on the tip of their noses that are highly sensitive to electrical fields (and water pressure). whether it repels them or helps bring them towards prey, though...

Sounds like this isn't really a shark "repellent" in that it doesn't actually repel anything. It just causes muscle contractions in sharks. That's it.

Then its up to the shark to respond to this sensation, and apparently this one got so angry that he decided to take matters into his own fins and take care of the problem.

johnnyabnormal — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:52:21 EST

Probably one of the best things in our favor when it comes to sharks is that scientists have recently discovered that although they are extremely sensitive to their natural prey's blood in water, they have a negative neurological response to human blood. That might explain why people survive attacks when you'd expect they'd be eaten.

axiomatic — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:35:27 EST

I used to do a lot of surfing, (and I still SCUBA dive) and I learned this from a Australian friend: a half empty water bottle (like a Ozarka, Dasani, etc.) is the best shark deterrent I have ever seen. When you crinkle the bottle with your hands you can actually watch Black Tip, Bull, Mako sharks swim away very fast from it. I have seen this with my own eyes. To support this I just saw the same technique on "Shark Week" (a month ago maybe? I think that was Discovery Channels last shark week? Unsure actually.) So I know my friend was not bullshitting me.

Now the clincher, I have no idea if a Great White would be adverse to the water bottle or if they are too big to care. But the smaller sharks hate it. Witnessed it first hand.

weatherman — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:25:14 EST

ok, I read the article but it's a little confusing - it sounds like this is coming out during an inquest into the death of someone who was not wearing a Shark Shield. It also sounds like the product that failed was being tested and found to have been defective. Sure, one might say that the company would claim it was defective to protect themselves, but it is product testing for a reason, and pretty much any product being tested is going to have failures. As for attracting sharks there didn't seem to be any evidence of that.

I've seen these things covered before and it seems like they do work in some circumstances. And if I'm surfing I'd rather be protected from some attacks than no attacks at all.

Basically what you're trying to say is that this is the surfer's equivilent of those deer whistles you put on the front of your car...

You know, the things that make that deer stop and look at your car while wondering, "Hey! What's that damn whistling noise?"

Looking like a yummy seal by being on a surfboard is not my idea of a good time.

isn't it possible that if the shark doesn't like something it will try and put a stop to it?

I'm starting to feel that Sharks are really the masterminds behind this world. We humans are just supposed to feel like we're in control...

Hitchhikers Guide was a little off if this is the case.
