“As an ex-abalone diver, we used to glue fake eyes on our wetsuits before diving. It was simple – if a shark thinks you’ve seen it, it becomes more cautious.
Shark Eyes deterrents are that idea, refined. Backed by decades in the water and real-world use in high-risk zones, these deterrents are built on anecdotal evidence and experience. I’ve trusted this concept with my life – now anyone can. PS Watch this space with research findings to come"
