## Overview

The Shark Deterrent Mini Canister is a cutting-edge repellent designed by renowned shark scientists to minimize shark interactions while ensuring the safety of marine life. With a compact design, it operates effectively at depths of 50 feet and utilizes a scientifically proven formula to deter sharks without harming them.

## Description

The Repel Sharks Shark Deterrent Canister uses technology developed by scientists at Shark Defense Technology, who have been featured on BBC, the Discovery Channel, Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe, Mythbusters and more. The canister contains a natural semiochemical derived from putrefied shark tissue which affects olfaction (smell) and gustation (taste) in a wide variety of shark species. Our Technology: Does not affect market-valuable bony fish (teleosts), is not based on the old (US Navy) “SharkChaser”, is not copper acetate, maleic acid, or sodium lauryl (dodecyl) sulfate, is not based on dyes, such as nigrosine, is non-lethal to sharks, is not an electronic, visual, or acoustic product, and is able to be incorporated into materials and formulations. This product is typically used when sharks are present during fish tagging studies, fishing tournaments, and when releasing weakened fish near sharks. Hold the can with the nozzle facing outwards, slightly downward and away from your body and others. It is best to aim the nozzle at the water. Firmly depress they grey trigger at the top of the can until it latches. Repellent will begin to spray out. Do not depress the trigger with the can facing upwards. This will release the propellant gas and not the repellent. Try to produce a repellent cloud around your fish. The chemical repellent will travel with the current. The semiochemical requires, on average, 30 seconds after initial contact to repel requiem sharks.

I ordered your product thru Amazon.com a couple of weeks ago and it arrived within 2 days. I was able to give it a good test with Bull Sharks in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday 4/26. Results were great! Our first dive was on a reef in 60' of water. When the water temperature is around 70 degrees we usually find multiple sharks in the 6-8' range on this reef. Saturday was no exception. While swimming within 20 yards of the nearest shark I opened the first mini canister. There was not much current so I opened it directly over the reef. Almost immediately the sharks went away. We started spearfishing and shot several hogfish and grouper. Within 20 minutes one large Bull Shark returned, fins down moving very sharply in an aggressive manner. We opened the second canister within 10 yards of the shark and he also left. I will be ordering more of your mini canisters! All divers on my boat will be required to have one ready and on their BC on future dives.
