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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen activated, Freedom8 generates an electrical pulse field through a trailing antenna. Sharks possess highly sensitive electroreceptors, known as the \u003cstrong\u003eAmpullae of Lorenzini\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreedom8 is designed as a \u003cstrong\u003erisk-reduction device\u003c\/strong\u003e.
