Like Rob and Em said, Freedom 7 is one of the more popular Shark Shields. I have one. It has a long whip, which I thread through my Fin (good thing or I would have lost it by now because the velcro doesnt always hold) and straps to your ankle, the whip, sends out an electric current to the Sharks once turned on,
which should be done upon entering the water if you are spearing fish. The Sharks bounce off the current and away from you. For some reason, Nurse sharks are immune from the S Shield, but I can deal with that
They run between $600-$900, but money well spent. Just make sure you dont hit anyone beneath you with it, Ive come up under one and got a pretty decent shock to my head! And altought it hasnt happened to me "yet", like Rob said, there are no guarantees a Shark will not pierce the Shield..... Spearit
