I’ve had a number of successful trips with the Ocean Guardian FISH01.

It is normal for us to lose two out of every three fish to sharks in the reefs in and around Townsville, and in some trips, I have lost every decent fish to a shark.

I have now had two successful trips using the FISH01 where the numbers were reversed.

In one trip I did not lose a single fish to a shark until the battery went flat, and then I lost every fish to sharks. There is no doubt the Shark Shield Technology works!

I was approached by a white shark while surfing at Surf Beach, California which is notorious for having had 4 shark attacks, two of them deadly.  I have FFREEDOM+ Surf installed on my longboard.  I could not see the full shark under the water but the dorsal fin was fully out of the water and was about a meter tall, a solid dark grey and a notch at the base.  It seemed to be an adult.  The shark quickly approached to about a meter from me and then quickly went a half circle around my board and then away,...

I’m a scuba diver in WA. The FREEDOM7 has repelled large sharks on two occasions in the last 3 years. Seems to be effective - Cam, Nov 2022.

I have been using the Ocean Guardian FREEDOM7 and the old FREEDOM4 for for 11yrs now and they have help me in many situations as well as saved my clients on spearfishing charters from being bitten.

I mostly use Ocean Guardian products when I am Bluewater spearfishing my Louisiana home waters, or when I travel to the Bahamas. My Bluewater spots are loaded with giant dusky, sandbar, and mako sharks who are always harassing us for fish or fired up due to chumming for wahoo and tuna. Having the FREEDOM7 with us in the water works great for giving a...

The surfs I’ve had so far using the FREEDOM+ Surf have felt amazing, so much more confidence and I felt confident staying in the water on dusk/dark for the first-time ages. I wish I bought one sooner!

Born and bred in Reunion Island, I started surfing here when I was about 2 years old. Sadly, since 2011, we have had a lot of terrible shark attacks on our island and it really affected us (around 25 attacks and 11 people died...) RIP to the friends and legends we lost.

About 90% of the Reunion surfing population have stopped surfing or have moved somewhere else. Some surfers decided to keep surfing there even though it became one (if it's not the most) sharkiest place on the planet. I am one of them.

Surfing is more than a passion for me and it was...

I went out for a surf last Saturday morning at a remote beach in the South West of WA when I got charged by a shark (probably chasing a school of salmon).

It tried to charge another couple of times but every time it seemed to get turned away by the FREEDOM+ Surf on my board.

I'd like to thank the Ocean Guardian team as this little device probably saved my life.

I have owned Ocean Guardian (Shark Shield) shark deterrents for over 10yrs, from the FREEDOM4 to the FREEDOM7 available today. I have consistently spear fished on the Great Barrier Reef and seen the Shark Shield turn sharks away repeatedly. Bull Sharks, White Tip, Black Tip, Silver Tip and many other Whaler Sharks over 10 feet and 350KG.

The device does not affect fish or my ability in any way.

Whilst on a live aboard on the Swains reef (200km off Gladstone QLD), the crew were filleting the days catch at night, throwing the heads and frames into the water. There were between...

My name is Jon Schwartz. I was out in Honokohau Harbor in Kona kayak fishing with my wife today. While tying on a bait, I heard a splash, and we paddled toward it. Then a 12 foot tiger shark came up to check us out, it took a look at us and then started steaming for us.

I just got it (Freedom 4) the other day and so I didn”t think the charge would last the whole time we were out, so I had it at the ready, not expecting it would come to this. I had the antennae loosely coiled...

All of my working life I have had to endure the endless problems that sharks have caused to my occupation. Loss of catch through torn nets and down time for repairs caused a dent in my bottom line profits, but I considered this an occupational hazard, which had to be expected and accepted.

I heard about this new Shark Shield product that was on the market, so as an experiment I purchased a personal diver unit and set it up on the top of the net. It kept the sharks away! Now I don”t drop my net unless the Shark Shield...
