15.01.2022 OUR STORY (Part 1.) Shanan Worrall (@shananworrall) is a true Australian waterman. He was born in 1978 in Esperance Western Australia, to a family of keen surfers. At just 6 years of age, he started surfing, spearfishing and fishing. By 17, he started work as an Abalone diver/deck hand. And after 20+ years, he’s had more wild shark encounters than 99.9% of the population. Shanan continues to commercially dive for shells, and loves his diving, free diving and big wave surfing.... Shanan has been involved in: - Winner of WSL Tube of the Year Big Wave Awards 2017 (Pictured here by @jamiesscottimages) - Oakley Big Wave Award nominee and Finalist - 3 x Esperance Deep Sea Angling competition winner - Billabong Big Wave Awards finalist 2017 - Specimen Shell Diver - Abalone diver - One Ocean International Trainer - Cray fishing Abrolhos Islands Shanan loved his work as an Abalone diver, but it sadly came to an end in 2013 after a cascade of events that spooked him- all of these events were to do with sharks in Western Australia and left him suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and anxiety related to the ocean, so much so that he struggled to get back in the water for a year and it resulted in him changing his career. - More about 'our story' in future posts or head to our website www.sharkeyesglobal.com (link in bio @sharkeyesdeterrent) - Image by @jamiescottimages

14.01.2022 Our story (Part 2) - Whilst abalone diving 180km east of Esperance in October 2013, a fellow abalone diver- Greg Pickering (Shark Eyes Ambassador) was attacked by a White Shark and left critically injured. Shanan along with two other colleges administered life saving first aid to him 4 hours from town in a remote location, and rushed him to hospital; luckily he survived and still dives to this day. That same year Shanan lost a loved one in a fatal attack in Gracetown and pers...onally encountered a few unwanted, unpleasant interactions with large sharks whilst spearfishing and surfing, luckily he saw the sharks and was able to defend himself. As well as the events of the year 2013 Shanan has other mates who have lost limbs in Shark attacks over the years. Shanan agrees for many Shark attack is not a high possibility to lose sleep over but for Shanan and many other frequent (daily/weekly) water users the threat of Shark attack is a very real thing - More about our story in future posts or head to our website www.sharkeyesglobal.com (link in bio @sharkeyesdeterrent) - Image by ambassador @russellordphoto
13.01.2022 Cattle herds in the Okavango delta region in Botswana are plagued by attacks by lions and other predators, prompting farmers to retaliate by killing the predators. An alternative nonlethal technique involves painting eyes on the butts of cattle to trick ambush predators like lions into thinking they've been spotted by their intended prey - It's called the "Eye-Cow Project," and a recent paper published in the journal Communications Biology provides some solid empirical eviden...ce for the practice. There are now practical guides for using the "eye-cow" technique available in both English and Setswana, so farmers can try it out for themselves - It is almost impossible to conduct a similar project with sharks to create a study that shows conclusive evidence. However, first hand accounts from life long commercial divers, surfers, spearfishermen, marine biologists and shark experts have witnessed the same level of deterrent once the predator knows it had been spotted.

08.01.2022 @chase_lanauze waiting patiently for the boat to unload his catch in the Chatham Islands. He’s wearing our Mask Tamer with two large, high contrast Shark Eyes on the back of his head. Sharks, the apex predator of the oceans, are surprisingly cautious hunters. The element of surprise is essential when deciding whether to attack or abort. Once spotted (with real or fake eyes) they are much more likely to abort - captured by adventure documentarian, @saminthewild_

03.01.2022 How would you go swimming in these conditions? It always pays to train without a board for the day your leggie snaps (swipe for an example) and you’re left to your own devices. It makes all the difference in making the right decisions when you are uncomfortable. True water people will have the correct safety equipment, but never 100% rely on it - Training can be fun, it can be exploring new reefs, diving for crays, spear fishing, the list goes on. Buddy up and get out there!
02.01.2022 @endlessssummer_ spying what apex predators love. Humans and sharks. A big bait ball
02.01.2022 Team rider @justinhollandsurfer posted a great bunch of photos and write up in a recent post. We are stoked to be able to afford him peace of mind when enjoying the water - Our aim is to improve your safety and experience in the water. No deterrent is a silver bullet when it comes to such an apex predator as a shark, but Shark Eyes are an effective non-invasive and affordable deterrent, specifically designed for high level of visibility under water. Taking the surprise element away from an ambush predator goes a long way to mitigate unwanted encounters.
