SOS Freedom8 Shark Deterrent | Electronic Shark Deterrent Device 

Scientifically Tested. Designed for Real Ocean Conditions.

The SOS Freedom8 Shark Deterrent is a personal electronic shark deterrent designed to provide ocean users with an additional layer of confidence in the water. Whether you're scuba diving, spearfishing, surfing, paddling, swimming or fishing, Freedom8 uses scientifically tested electronic deterrent technology to help reduce the likelihood of close-range shark interactions.

When activated, Freedom8 generates an electrical pulse field through a trailing antenna. Sharks possess highly sensitive electroreceptors, known as the Ampullae of Lorenzini, which allow them to detect electrical signals in the water. As a shark enters the electrical field at close range, the sensation is designed to create an aversive response, encouraging it to turn away before making contact.

Built upon more than two decades of research and development, the underlying electronic deterrent technology has been independently evaluated by leading shark researchers and universities, with findings published in multiple peer-reviewed scientific journals. Testing across several shark species has demonstrated measurable reductions in close-range shark interactions and bite probability when the technology is operating.

Freedom8 is designed as a risk-reduction device. It does not guarantee protection from sharks and should always be used together with responsible ocean safety practices, local advice and situational awareness.

Key Features

  • Scientifically tested electronic shark deterrent technology

  • Generates an electrical pulse field through a trailing antenna

  • Designed to encourage sharks to turn away at close range

  • Suitable for scuba diving, spearfishing, surfing, swimming, paddling and fishing

  • Rated to an operating depth of 50 metres

  • Rechargeable lithium battery

  • Up to 6 hours of operating time

  • LED battery status indicator

  • Non-lethal technology that does not injure sharks or other marine life

  • Suitable for recreational, commercial and professional ocean users

How It Works

Freedom8 emits an electrical field through its flexible antenna. Sharks naturally detect electrical signals using specialised sensory organs called the Ampullae of Lorenzini. When they enter the active field, the electrical stimulation can create discomfort, encouraging the shark to alter its behaviour and move away.

Unlike physical barriers, Freedom8 travels with you, providing portable personal deterrence wherever your ocean adventures take you.
