Would be even better if it

Would be even better if it was $600-$610 minus the $200 rebate. Seems like a bit of price inflation going on here on the back of the rebates.

The rebate is only for 1000 units.

So if you're keen grab one before the 1000 sharkshields are sold... and the price bumps back up.

 if your going to be  taken by a shark  diving your not going to know about it if it scares you that much dont dive we didnt have them years ago(shark shields) anouther waste of goverment  money in my opinion , blokes will be buying them cheap  and selling them on gumtree cheap for a profit

 Each to their own Peter. I have used one for the last few years and it's just a nice bit of added safety that has some evidence that it can be effective. If it gives me a small chance of avoiding a shark attack then I will happily pay a small price for that. My old shield died recently so I will be getting a new one with the subsidy this week.

Shark Shield do have a office

Shark Shield do have a office in Perth, if you give them a ring you might be able to take in your old shark shield (damaged) and pick up a new one at a heavy discount. I might depend on how old/what type it was. But I replaced my Dad's shark shield last year for a new one at a pretty good price.

 Yeah they have a place in Joondalup. Replaced my first one with a reconditioned unit for about $325 couple of years ago now he recon one has died. They give h recon unit a 12 month warranty. If I can get a new one for $440 I will just grab a new one I think.

what would be better

Wed, 2017-05-31 22:45

 what would be better would be  legalising smokeys , cheeky tiger sharks up north will come in for a look , before having a crack at you so you have time to load up with a smockey easy to carry home made ones  up your wet suit sleve , in saying that i dont think a smokey or shark shield wil stop a hungry GW shark  but thats just my opinion
