Sharkbanz 2 Magnetic Shark Deterrent Band White/Seafoam

Sharkbanz 2 Magnetic Shark Deterrent Band

Sharkbanz is the first wearable shark deterrent technology created by experienced ocean goers Nathan and David Garrison. Instead of waiting for the next attack to happen, they decided to do something about their underlying fear. After three years of testing, design, and development, the first version of Sharkbanz launched in 2015. Using patented magnetic technology with decades of research by marine biologists, Sharkbanz takes advantage of a shark’s unique and powerful electroreception to cause a highly unpleasant sensation that turns them away without harm.

1. EMITS AN EFFECTIVE DETERRENT FIELD

Always ON and does not use batteries nor require any charging. The tech is simple and effective. Sharkbanz tell sharks we aren't food and aren't worth investigating - keeping both sides safer.

2. DISRUPTS SHARKS' & RAYS' ELECTRORECEPTION

Sharks use electroreception (sensitivity to electric fields) to hunt and navigate. Sharkbanz' powerful deterrent field is exponentially greater than any electric field a shark would naturally encounter. Sharkbanz do not harm sharks or any other ocean animal, but signals sharks to stay away.

3. DETERS SHARKS & RAYS - PROVEN TECHNOLOGY

Marine biologists compare this deterrent sensation a shark feels to a "bright light" suddenly shining in your eyes when in a dark room. This technology is validated by a decade's worth of research and testing from independent scientists and government field studies.

OCEAN ATHLETES

Designed to help athletes focus on their sport, Sharkbanz do not interfere with performance. In fact, they help. Sharkbanz are worn by surfers, competitive swimmers, and kiteboarders of all levels.

DIVERS & SPEARFISHERMEN

From folks hunting in the sharkiest of waters to Navy SEALS, Sharkbanz technology is trusted by watermen and marine professionals to keep them safe and get the job done. Dive with ease.

FISHERMEN

Sharkbanz wearable products reduce the risk from sharks and stingrays, while the deterrent tackle, the Zeppelin, enables them to land more fish. Awarded Winner of ICAST 2021 Best Terminal Tackle. Trusted by the pros.

How it Works: 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 are 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.

Sharks have the strongest electroreception (sensitivity to electrical fields) in the animal kingdom. They use this unique capability to navigate at night, when in murky water, and to hunt. Their electroreceptors (Ampullae of Lorenzini) and lateral line canals connect to the seawater by pores on their snouts and other zones of the head. When a fish swims, or even moves its gills, it creates a change in the surrounding geomagnetic field that sharks can detect with these electrically sensitive, gel-filled canals. Since the shark is tuned to be looking for very weak electromagnetic signals from its prey (heartbeats, muscle movements), this organ is highly sensitive. When encountered in the wild, the Sharkbanz field is exponentially greater than anything the animal will have experienced before and highly unpleasant. This tells the shark it is definitely not food.
