{"product_id":"sentinel-ocean-systems-freedom-8","title":"Sentinel Ocean Systems Freedom8 Shark Deterrent","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Freedom8 is a personal electronic shark deterrent from Sentinel Ocean Systems. Once it's wet it switches itself on and puts out a low-frequency electrical field between two electrodes — roughly a 6 metre bubble around you. Sharks sense it through the electroreceptors in their snouts (the ampullae of Lorenzini), find it uncomfortable and turn away. Nothing is harmed, the shark or the reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's built for divers, spearfishers, snorkellers, surfers and kayakers — anyone who spends long sessions in open water and would like the odds tilted a little further in their favour. Worn on the ankle or leg in its neoprene pouch, it's close to neutral in the water, so you'll forget it's there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to know before you buy:\u003c\/strong\u003e a deterrent reduces risk, it doesn't remove it.
