The unit incorporates a velcro pouch, that is attached to the ankle region and 2.2m flexible mesh antenna. Once the antenna is submerged in salt water the electrodes emit the protective field. The FREEDOM7 antenna has been designed to cause minimum of water resistance and drag on the user. SharkShield's unique wave form elliptical field only affects free swimming sharks and to a minor degree rays and skates. The field generated by the SharkShield is detected by the shark through its sensory receptors known as Ampullae of Lorenzini, situated on the snout of all predatory sharks. The unique and unfamiliar pulsing sensation emitted by the SharkShield does not replicate that given off by a fish and does not attract sharks to an area. SharkShield allows you to hunt, photograph or just swim with all other marine animals roaming freely in their ocean settings.
