The truth about #sharkdeterrent - The most recent study shows at best one electronic #shark deterrent was only 60% effective at getting a #greatwhiteshark to not take the bait, whereas the other types were only 6% - 13% effective (Chart 1 - Top). A reaction was noticed most often in a range of 1-2 meters or 3-6 feet. That being said more studies and analysis are needed, but what can be determined is that the overall efficacy of #sharkdeterents combined is 21%, and that number is too low to rely upon as a stand alone safety device. Incorporating a proven shark deterrent with an #omna #tourniquet or #surftourniquet #surfleash provides the most comprehensive protection for #surfers while #surfing - Improvised #tourniquets have a 75% failure rate according to studies, and only 1 TQ is certified #marine grade and #ocean Rated = OMNA - Having a TQ Leash means you are always #prepared to #stopthebleed immediately which is proven by studies to provide the greatest chance of #sharkattack #survival - Furthermore, 🦈 encounters account for only a small % of #surfinjury - The most common #surf #injury is a #laceration caused by a #surfboard to a lower limb, which a shark deterrent device can do nothing for, but an OMNA #tourniquetleash #legrope can. @a_whiteshark @abc4explore @frontlinefreediving @firstcareprovider (at Cape Cod) https://www.instagram.com/p/BprJolfn7Iq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7ymef3mb3gl0
