The Shark Shield Freedom 7
The unit is fitted to the lower leg via a neoprene pouch. Attached to the pouch is an antenna housing the two electrodes, which trails unobtrusively behind the user. These two electrodes propagate the field into the water, therefore both electrodes must be fully immersed.
The Freedom units are an excellent alternative to the specialized Scuba unit for scuba divers, who also surf or free dive. In fact they are fast becoming the most popular unit for those who scuba dive only.
In tests conducted to date the Freedom 7 has deterred sharks at distances of up to 6M, but with an average distance of 3-4M from the unit.
Freedom 7 Surfing Instructions
If using the Freedom 7 unit for surfing a Shark Shield leg rope also needs to be purchased. One end of the leg rope attaches approx. half way along the antenna, with the other end attaching to the surfboard. This replaces the surfer's usual leg rope.
When entering the surf from a reef or rocky shore, keep the unit switched off until in the surf.
Do not grab the antenna with bare hands to pull the surfboard towards you.
Feedback from some surfers indicates it is more comfortable to wear the unit with the antenna protruding from the back of the leg, rather than the side. Try it both ways to see what suits you best.
It may take a couple of surfing sessions before you feel comfortable with your Freedom 7 unit
The Shark Shield™ Freedom 7 Unit comes complete with:
- Shark Shield unit (with enclosed battery);
- 2.2m antenna;
- Velcro pouch;
- Universal Charger (will suit any voltage or frequency).
WARNING - SHARKS ARE DANGEROUS
Sharks can be dangerous and often unpredictable creatures. While great care has been taken, and extensive testing has been done, to develop and manufacture the Shark Shield™, it is simply impossible to guarantee that all sharks will be deterred under all circumstances. With or without the protection of a Shark Shield™, all sharks should be treated with respect and caution. Water sport participation in the presence of sharks is inherently dangerous. Any human activity in the water near sharks must always be considered as possessing a considerable degree of risk.
