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)
“The lichen on the rocks is a rude and simple shield which beginning and imperfect Nature suspended there. Still hangs her wrinkled trophy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Much of our American progress has been the product of the individual who had an idea; pursued it; fashioned it; tenaciously clung to it against all odds; and then produced it, sold it, and profited from it.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process. We should forcefully explain that our role is not to teach them to think as we do but rather to teach them, by example, the importance of taking a stance that is rooted in rigorous engagement with the full range of ideas about a topic.”
—bell hooks (b. 1955)
