The 'eSPEAR' is a handheld device for avid aquatic enthusiasts that will enable them to maintain optimal safety when heading into the water without having to worry about potential predators. The device is powered by Shark Shield Technology and works by using electricity to cause uncomfortable spasms for sharks that will encourage them to swim away. This nonlethal technology could work to save a diver's life by letting them simply activate it when they are being targeted and deter sharks from coming any closer.
The 'eSPEAR' boasts a compact design that can be attached onto your belt or holster to ensure it's always on hand when heading into the water. The folding design makes it easy for divers, spearfishes and snorkelers alike to keep handy.
