If you’re going swimming anywhere there are sharks or stingrays this summer it’s a good idea to be prepared. I’ve watched videos of shark repellent in cans, bags, etc. The traditional way I’ve seen people repel sharks is with the scent of dead sharks. Research shows sharks don’t like the smell of other dead sharks and that makes them leave the scene. I’ve recently watched a video on a magnetic repellent called Sharkbanz which works through magnets. More found here:
