A Magic Amulet That Repels Sharks

So You Can Concentrate on the Waves

None
Sharkbanz

Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water... 

You were proven completely right.

Because you've got Sharkbanz, the first wearable doohickey that uses magnetic technology to let sharks know you're not food so they avoid you, now available online.

It makes sense. You have sunscreen to protect your skin. Sunglasses to protect your eyes. But until today, you’ve remained somewhat vulnerable to hungry sharks curious about the taste of your limbs. And you’re probably pretty delicious. You know it, we know it. 

So, even if the odds of you being attacked by a shark are one in 11.5 million, you wouldn’t mind having a little more peace of mind the next time you're surfing, diving or splashing around that you’re not about to make the 10 o’clock news because some dorsal-finned megalodon nibbled on your ear. 

All you need to do is strap one of these onto your wrist or ankle. It never needs a charge or a battery—it's built to work anytime you need it. 

The device has been rigorously tested in its efforts to safely and instantly overwhelm predatory shark’s electroreception, thus deterring them from getting anywhere near you. And it's been proven effective on a wide variety of sharks. We’re talking hammerheads, bullsharks, Australian blacktips and even great whites. Which is good. 

You’ll still have to deal with complete terror every time stray seaweed brushes against your leg, though.
