Freedom 8 Shark Deterrent

Freedom 8 Shark Deterrent includes charger, Freedom 8 Unit.

The world’s most advanced personal shark deterrent. Freedom 8 is a wearable shark deterrent built on over 20 years of shark deterrent technology which creates an electrical field that is proven to significantly reduce the likelihood of a shark interaction.

FREEDOM 8 is designed for all ocean users and is built on over twenty years of shark deterrent technology development. Using a patented electrical deterrent system, FREEDOM 8 is designed to significantly reduce the likelihood of a shark interaction without harming any marine animals.

The underlying technology has been independently evaluated in multiple scientific studies and has been the subject of peer-reviewed research conducted by leading universities and shark scientists. These studies have demonstrated that electrical shark deterrents can significantly alter shark behaviour and reduce the likelihood of close-range interactions.

Developed in collaboration with some of the world’s leading shark researchers, including the KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board in South Africa, the technology has evolved through decades of research, testing and real-world use. Today, FREEDOM 8 is trusted by scuba divers, spearing enthusiasts, snorkelers, freedivers, swimmers, ocean professionals and marine personnel who rely on proven, non-lethal shark deterrent technology in demanding environments.
