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.

Famous quotes containing the words shark, shield, product and/or range:
“They will tell you tough stories of sharks all over the Cape, which I do not presume to doubt utterly,—how they will sometimes upset a boat, or tear it in pieces, to get at the man in it. I can easily believe in the undertow, but I have no doubt that one shark in a dozen years is enough to keep up the reputation of a beach a hundred miles long.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
“Good is a product of the ethical and spiritual artistry of individuals; it cannot be mass-produced.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The more the specific feelings of being under obligation range themselves under a supreme principle of human dependence the clearer and more fertile will be the realization of the concept, indispensable to all true culture, of service; from the service of God down to the simple social relationship as between employer and employee.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
