Sharkbanz Shark-Repellent Band Chances are slim that you'll end up getting bitten by sharks while playing in the ocean, although you can wear this shark-repellent band just to be sure.

Sometimes, our fears are well-founded. Other times, they’re just plain irrational. Whether your fear of shark attacks belong in the former or the latter, you can banish them every time you hit the ocean by simply wearing the Sharkbanz.

A wearable band, it emits magnetic waves that disrupt a shark’s electro-receptors whenever they swim nearby, prompting them to turn the other way.  They describe it as the equivalent of a person suddenly shining a very bright light in your eyes in a dark room, so you can be confident it will turn sharks away whenever you cross each other’s paths while you spend the day swimming, diving, or surfing.

The Sharkbanz uses a clasp to secure around a person’s wrists or ankles, with an adjustable fit (between 5.5 to 14 inches) that allows it to wear on both adults and children.  It weighs just 3 ounces, too, so it shouldn’t cause any hindrance to your movements while in the water.  Powered by magnets stashed inside the band, it requires no batteries or power source, so there’s zero maintenance involved, with the ability to work its magic at depths of up to 200 meters.

Do note, the magnets will be enough to repel sharks under normal conditions, so long as you don’t look like shark bait in the water.  And by shark bait, we’re guessing that means you don’t want to be surrounded by sharks while cut up and bleeding from an accident, so you might want to find your way back to shore as soon as that happens.

Available in three colors, the Sharkbanz is priced at $65.
