I have been scuba diving for about 15 years. I know that sharks sense the electrical pulses made by there prey and that's the main way of locating food. Understand that these pulses are very small. I also remember a documentary on using higher electrical fields to repel sharks from attacking people and objects (old navy doc.) I would guess that the high-energy pulses coming from the coils might interfere with the shark?s sense of smell, as it is, and provide a type of shark repellant. Interesting idea but, do not know if I will test it or not. Maybe if I go back to the Bahamas on another shark feeding frenzy dive I may just have to take a long a detector and see. Any volunteers to help test it out???? I need someone to hold the bait
