The Shark Shield Product Range
The KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board ceased distribution of the SharkPOD in 2001. Rights to use the intellectual property were licensed to a South Australian based company, SeaChange Technology Pty Ltd (renamed as Shark Shield Pty Ltd in October 2006) who launched a product line under the brand name Shark Shield in April 2002.
In 2007 Shark Shield introduced the SCUBA7 as a replacement for the FREEDOM4. The company also introduced new designs, the FREEDOM7 for free diving, snorkeling or kayak fishing, and the SURF7 designed to be fitted on a surfboard or paddleboard.

“Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear—
And he shows them pearly white—
Just a jackknife has Macheath, dear—
And he keeps it out of sight.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“Vice is its own reward. It is virtue which, if it is to be marketed with consumer appeal, must carry Green Shield stamps.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
“Out of the thousand writers huffing and puffing through movieland there are scarcely fifty men and women of wit or talent. The rest of the fraternity is deadwood. Yet, in a curious way, there is not much difference between the product of a good writer and a bad one. They both have to toe the same mark.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“No doubt, the short distance to which you can see in the woods, and the general twilight, would at length react on the inhabitants, and make them savages. The lakes also reveal the mountains, and give ample scope and range to our thought.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
