How to create a safe swimming zone around your boat

Announcement posted by 360PR 19 Nov 2018

Ocean Guardian’s Shark Shield Technology is the world’s only scientifically proven and independently tested electrical shark deterrent, and the company is excited to unveil that their new BOAT01 product will be shipping in early 2019, the BOAT01 is designed specifically for swimming off the back of your boat with family and friends.
 
However, an existing product, the FREEDOM7, can be set up on your boat to protect you and your family this summer season. This product is powered by Shark Shield Technology, the same technology where in Western Australia consumers receive a $200 consumer rebate when purchasing with the company’s dive or surf products.
 
Trevor Rees from Whitsunday Escape, the largest bareboat operator in The Whitsundays, stated, “We have already purchased the Ocean Guardian FREEDOM7’s for all our vessels and are looking forward to the release of the BOAT01. We are pleased to be able to offer our customers an extra level of safety with this scientifically proven and effective shark deterrent technology.”
 
Ocean Guardian CEO, Lindsay Lyon says, “The new BOAT01 model will provide a large and powerful protective area for swimming of up to 10 meters in depth and over six meters wide through two user-changeable antenna options, depending on the depth of the water. So now you can customise it to your day out. You can even daisy chain up to five units to build your own virtual net.”
 
The FREEDOM7 has been used for many years for both a diving and in creating a protective swimming area. This summer’s price reduction announced last month for the lead up to summer, is making the proven technology more accessible to everyday Australians and boaters.
