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.

I would love to know when and where that was. The normal price was around $650-$750.

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.

why bother
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
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.

Yeah they have a place in
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
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
