When most people think of sharks, a terrifying sea creature usually comes to mind. But can we really blame people that have fear of sharks? With movies like JAWS and Deep Blue Sea, I’d also be afraid of taking a dip in the ocean. If you are an avid lover of the ocean waters but are always feeling uneasy about unwanted guests then the FREEDOM7 Shark Shield is something you need to consider for your next ocean adventure.
The FREEDOM7 device is a shark deterrent that’s designed for people who are into spearfishing, kayak fishing, diving, and not having their limbs bitten off. The device uses the shark’s own biology against it in making sure it doesn’t come close to the user. Sharks have very sensitive noses and the FREEDOM7 uses that against the sharks by creating an electrical field which causes muscle spasms in their sensitive nose. These spasms do not harm the shark permanently but only causes brief moments of high level discomfort. As soon as the shark is out of the electrical field, everything is back to normal for the shark and you can continue on with your ocean fun.
This device creates a win-win situation for all. First, the user and people close to the user of the FREEDOM7 are safe and don’t have to stress about sharks coming around. Second, the shark will also remain safe since it did not harm any humans. In many cases, if a shark attack happens, authorities attempt to locate and destroy the shark. And third, other ocean life will not be affected by the gadget so you can enjoy your fishing or scuba diving.
The battery life on a full charge should last you up to seven hours and the device can be used up to 50 meters of depth. The FREEDOM7 may seem on the pricey side at $649 but that’s actually a bloody good bargain. Think about it this way, is your hand, arm, foot, legs, or even life worth $649?
