WOW THIS is some useful information! Now I feel safe to go surfing here In Pacifica.So how much magnet do I need to wear in order to be protected?

I haven't watched the video as I'm on my slow home PC, but I was wondering. Can you reverse the polarity and attract the sharks to you? You could impress your friends - "here sharky, sharky".

Another idea. You can scare away a mountain lion or bear by opening an umbrella, making you appear much larger. Well, I think you can, anyway. Can someone invent an underwater umbrella? Well, maybe I'lll get right on it myself.

Magnets can do work! I know of a permanent magnet motor; and a permanent magnet generator that if ever put together could produce Free electric energy.

Meanwhile I have been using magnets, in my washing machine for years, unstead of laundry soap detergent.

Since my husband and son both surf, this is very useful information. I spent most of my life often in the ocean boogie boarding, but am no longer able to. Ironically, now I walk on the beach and find shark teeth.

I'm a firm believer in the healing power of magnets. I wear a magnetic necklace daily to prevent pain and numbness down my right arm and into 4 fingers since an auto accident and use them for joint and muscle pain, bruising, and especially for burns. They stop burn pain almost immediately. Even the trimmings of magnetic insoles work wonders for burns.

I'd like to know more about the specific type of magnet used and where to purchase them. Looks like I'll be doing some internet research.

Being an acupuncturist, magnets can strongly affect your meridians. I learned this when I was a student in acupuncture school years ago when I was practicing with magnet therapy on acupuncture points. (works quite well if used correctly) However, I had a stack of small powerful magnets in my pocket for a few hours and soon realized that I had pain where the magnets were in my pocket. It stagnates the Qi if left in place too long. & the more powerful the gauss the stronger & faster it works.

This needs more research and shows so much promise for protecing people from sharks. Which pole is most effective; the north pole or south pole of the magnet? A high powered electronic magnetic pulsed device may do the same thing or better. Electromagnets can be far more powerful.
I use a neo on my head to calm my brain. I made a elastic band and attached a neo magnet to it. I use the south pole of the magnet toward the back of the brain. This is very calming. I use a 2 inch round disc that is half inch thick. Really good to help you sleep.
Alternating magnet fields can be used to heal and kill microorganisms and parasites such as malaria. Yet, excessively strong and over exposure to AC magnets fields can harm the human body. Yet, a little bit can help heal. Too much of a good is harmful.
Use a DC electric blanket for sleeping. Do not use AC electric blankets. I made my own DC electric blanket.
We must explore the use of radio frequencies for agriculture and stop using chemicals to fight pest.

Although this does sound like a very good idea, I believe that very strong magnetic fields might also pose a health risk to humans. As a graduate student in geology, we used to use powerful magnetic separators for obtaining fractions of particular minerals based on their magnetic susceptibility and there were a host of warnings and safety issues connected with the machine, even back in the early 80's. Our young geochemistry professor who had often used the machine died of cancer in his 40's, where the cancer started right at the place on his body where the machine came closest. I also believe I have read that strong or long time exposure to electromagnetic fields has been connected with a higher incidence of leukemia. For fanatical surfers maybe the magnetic surfboard of the future should also be equipped with a mu metal shield on its upper surface!

meanwhile the sharks in the video were about 3 feet in length..perhaps babies..let's all try this with a 16 footer and see what happens..hmmm?

What size magnet would you use while swimming? Any details would help. A link to an exact magnet (or magnets) would be even better. Being a Hawaii vacationer who snorkels a lot, I'd like to wear a deterrent for sure!

This is really interesting, but I wonder; if the magnets scare the shark away, would the shark be irritated and more likely to harm someone else near by?
Just a thought.

Should also lookout for land sharks too......

We swam at the beach every week of every summer when we were growing up. (even if we had to hitchhike to get there) Boy was I surprised a couple of years ago when I went back to the same beach, walked out to the end of the pier and looked down - there are dozens of sharks swimming right there off shore! Ask any shore fisherman how many sharks he's caught and he'll tell you 'quite a few'.
Sharks - they're closer than you think.

I personally prefer to remain out of any environment, like shark infested waters, if at all possible.

But the next time I decide to put myself into the unprotected food chain, good to know to bring along the magnets (and bang sticks).

Simple: Don't go in the ocean! Just kidding, I love the ocean as well and for some reason the idea of sharks do not scare me enough to stay out of it. This video is interesting and I would love to know more, but the volume does not work. I am not sure if it is my computre or not?
