If you are swimming or swimming in shark waters you might be interested in a new range of shark repellent jewellery aptly named Shark OFF which has been specifically designed to repel sharks from your vicinity. Using shark science the small bracelet is fitted with patented, proprietary active element hydrolyzes in water. Slowly dissolving over time and creating a mild electric field that we can’t feel, but the shark’s finely-tuned senses find blinding. Check out the video below to learn more.
“Shark OFF is an affordable and attractive shark repellent anklet and/or bracelet that effectively, simply, and fashionably provides peace of mind in the ocean. It is repellent AND attractive at the same time. Our gender-fluid, eco-friendly, surfwear ethos is perfect for every beach-goer. You’ll want to wear it even when you aren’t at the beach!”
“But how is that even possible? Because science. You know that sharks have super powers, right? Well, Shark OFF uses those powers against sharks without harming them. Our patented, proprietary active element hydrolyzes in water (dissolves – like an Alka Seltzer, but very sloooowly) creating a mild electric field that we can’t feel, but the shark’s finely-tuned senses find blinding. This field of protection will last, undiminished, for well over 250 hours in the water.”
