I came across some thing in a news release that I just have to share with you. It is a product made by a company named Sharkbanz and it actually not only deters shark attacks but literally chases them away. I watched a video of a bunch of bull sharks in a feeding frenzy and the researchers took a life-size dummy that looked like a human, tied bait fish all over it and dropped it into the water among the sharks. They actually have video of the sharks approaching the dummy, then turning and swimming away. It looks incredible. How does it work? I will read a description from their website Sharkbanz.com

Sharkbanz’s patented magnetic technology is the result of long term, ongoing scientific studies and testing. Sharkbanz utilize powerful permanent magnets to create an effective shark deterrent that’s always on and requires no batteries or charging. When sharks approach Sharkbanz, they detect the device’s strong electromagnetic field, which provides a sudden sensation that is thousands of times stronger than the signal produced by anything in a shark’s normal food chain. Consequently, sharks are deterred away from Sharkbanz. This cause and effect is analogous to having a bright light suddenly shined in your eyes in a dark room. You would not be hurt, but you would want to turn away.
