Anti Shark Device, Now With Shark Attracting Power

There are a lot of inventions that promise to keep sharks away from humans. Some work, and some don’t. The Shark Shield falls into the latter category.

Great white shark

Shark Shield was invented by the South African Government through the Natal Shark Board, home to some of the sharkiest waters in the world. It is used by the Australian Elite Military, the South African Navy the US Coast Guard and is also approved by NATO.

Shark Shield’s can be used when participating in any ocean activities including surfing, bodyboarding, longboarding, snorkelling, scuba diving, free diving, spear fishing, commercial diving, kayaking, ocean swimming and boating or fishing.

Sounds pretty good doesn’t it? Well it isn’t. After extensive testing in the “sharkiest” waters in the world not only did the device fail to keep sharks away, but it ATTRACTED sharks, including a great white, which proceeded to eat the device.

Cerralvo Island, March 11th 2005

We wasted no time once we arrived at the beach and immediately jumped in our boat, and Dan into his. We had the same guide as before (Cayo), since he seemed to share our intense passion for catching fish. The sea was a little bit calmer this day and we were able to make very good time getting to our destination. Cayo carved his way through the waves and swells with the precision only a person who had spent their entire life on the ocean could do. The sun beat down hard on us as our guide netted bait fish. It was obvious that today was going to be a very hot day on the water, even though clouds had begun to move in. We lathered up with sun screen and headed for deeper water.

    I never jump on the bandwagon too quickly Simon. Call it old age or just being an internet veteran.
