Has anyone ever heard if anyone has been attacked whilst wearing one or can anyone verify from a personal experience or encounter?
Wifey bought me an ESDS a few years ago and I have only used it a handful of times. I tend to be in the frame of mind "she'll be right".
We all know the current state of affairs out there - is there any advantage other than a positive state of mind when wearing one?
Worked with a shark researcher on a gig
I asked him on his opinion of sharks
Tiger sharks are the bin men of the ocean
Bull sharks are unpredictable like a neighbours dog
Great whites if it wants you, it's having you
No. Not really. And esp not with a 2ton gws travelling at 60kph. Maybee deter a non feeding shark but not one with a boner. Ab diver on shark shield website with a video of him saying he would never dive again without one was later devoured by two gws.
So you back the shark JB?
His fault for not "wearing it properly", so his fault for being eaten, by a fish. Fish innocent, and free to eat more people.
Maybe that might be some of the words recited at your obituary: "He always said that these big fish had the dominion over us humans, and he gracefully succumbed to the higher species".
Shaking my head, or for the younger generation SMH.
Bull**** If I white pointer is in a predatory mode a shark shield wont stop it. Heres a preventative measure that will stop it. Unfortunately there is to many tree hugging hippies living in there perfect dreamworld and think there **** don't stink. (take JBS for instance seems he been smoking the same **** as ben cousins)
Shark culling method seems to work Its a no brainer?.
I'm not sure if I'd want to be sharting when a shark is around. Pretty sure that the smell of liquid poo would be pretty noticeable in the water.
How are you guys so convinced of that? First hand experience? Or just what ya recon?
think ive watched enough failed anti shark device videos to put 2 and 2 together. it = money by the way.
cheap chineses electronics wrapped in silicone where ever they emit a signal or vibrate a pattern id feel about as comfortable surfing with great whites strapped with a dildo.
i dont even really believe a bullets going to do much that or a cull. its a bloody big body of water out there. and as long as surfers keep looking and sounding like wounded fish i dont see it ever ending.
so maybe if we insert the anti shark devices up the poompa and they emit a signal that makes you do a jumping jack on your surfboard itll show the sharks that your as fit as a fiddle and a dirty fighter so the shark will have second thoughts
Heaps of people say that they won't work, they have no evidence of this and if they try and quote something from history, they twist it and don't explain the full story. Like above. Nothing is ever going to be full proof. They are not designed to make you invisible or 100% safe, but what they will do is give you an option to retreat when a shark has taken some interest in eating you. 
I said it wasn't being used correctly, he had the electrode attacked to the air hose, it needs to be submerged if you bothered to do any research you'd have known that.. Even though it wasn't even in use, thats what you've just done What i have said repeatedly is that culling is not a successful option for water safety.. Thats not my opinion, thats from just about every study completed by anyone with any authority on the matter (With out a vested interest) 
Hell no but the science says we need to do it, and so we do. Even though not full proof. A good friend of mine's eldest boy's life changed for ever thanks to vaccinations. But the odds are still in favour so we did.. No but we still use them..

JB, where is the footage showing GWS backing right off? Loads of footage of harmless sharks yet no GWS.
It couldn't be more ****** simple. Go to South Australia and/or South Africa, berley up some 4 and 5m whites, throw out shark sheilds on various items (boards, baits, mannequins in BCDs etc) and film what happens next. If it works you've just turned a 50k experiment into millions

Cages are usually hydraulically driven and buoyancy and air is surface supplied The diving is relatively shallow and for long periods of time without deco.Expencive units 40g+ 20g second hand. I used to know some older boys who ran 2 diver one on watch. The laws in Aust don't accommodate the use of firearms unfortunately. If a unit was able to be purchased with a license it for divers I think this would be a valid option instead of culling. The privilege would be abused and the government wouldn't allow it ;-(
I wear the freedom 7 religiously but have had entanglement issues with it in heavy structure. twice completely pinned and resorted to removal.
IF YOU ARE USING A WEIGHT BELT AND HAVE TO DITCH IT KEEP IT WELL CLEAR OF THE SHEILD.
. I Think the freedom 7 are far better than the esds But the tail will get caught in shallow reef.

Weight belt entanglement
So just a few of the negatives to the shart shield!
Not going to stop all the issues you have, just thought id check..
