![]() ....Hey Titus.....hows it goin ehhh, down dare in OZ?
Being a diver and a science-fish geek, I have a couple' O gems of "wisdom" for you. The two classical stories are: 1) US navy used various dyes and detergents to mask a person visually (less aggressive color) and reduce the scent in the water. "Limited success wit ha soap called SDS (sodium dodecal....bla bla).........I don't know about you, but I am a little less than confident of "bubble bath " vs Great White....might reduce the fecal oder in the water , if you survive the first pass ![]() 2) chemical from a dead Moses sole....sharks don't eat its corpse. ..........some success but suffers the same fate as classic #1 ...ie not enough in a big ocean to demotivate a hungary VW bus from its pink snack. ![]() But all is not lost.......recently there has been work on certain radio and/or electrical frequencies that attract or repell sharks...has promise but again the force to de-motivate a frenzied shark ![]() Lastly and the one I like ![]() Works best for nasty smaller sharks........soooo you goin ' dinner diving?? ![]() Have fun, cheers

![]() Hello,
I see. Thanks guys. How about dye for SAR locating you? Any experiences or recommendations on them? If you have a choice of a few of those small parachute flares that don't require a gun vs some dyes, which one would you pick? I was searching for dyes and came across the these flares, which are quite cheap... around $30/ea aussie dollar. Steve, it is interesting that they are shooting the sharks in the navy. Though the problem is, how does the shooter compensate for the refraction they see of the shark under water? Titus

But better than dye for daytime is a smoke float. Like a flare, a smoke float is a pyrotechnic and will produce orange smoke for about 20 minutes or so. Orange smoke is recognized by the International Maritime Organization as a distress signal, as is dye. But I'd go with the smoke. You can see dye from above only, basically. Whereas smoke floats can be seen from above and on the horizon from a distant surface vessel. To summarize...go with both the parachute flares and smoke floats, and forget the dye. HTH and cheers,
