A surfer (L) and a diver (R) wearing wetsuits displaying the two styles of Shark Attack Mitigation Systems (SAMS) shark deterrent technology, with the surfer holding a surfboard also showing the new design. The new technology was designed by SAMS in collaboration with the Oceans Institute at the University of Western Australia, with the two design variations either presenting the wearer as potentially dangerous and unpalatable to a shark, or making it very difficult for the shark to see the wearer in the water.
