The Origin
Our story started as a proactive response to the rising number of shark-related incidents on the north coast of New South Wales around 2017. Our goal was to design a wetsuit fabric that was scientifically proven to minimise the severity of injuries from shark bites. After four years of rigorous research, our fabric was independently tested by scientists from Flinders University.

Unveiling Shark Stop Fabric
Engineered to excel, Shark Stop fabric underwent meticulous testing both in labs and the natural habitats of Great White Sharks near Neptune Islands, South Australia. The results were groundbreaking. Peer-reviewed studies confirmed its exceptional performance in minimising punctures compared to standard neoprene during a shark bite incident.

Why Coexistence is Key
Sharks aren't just captivating creatures; they’re essential to a balanced and thriving ocean ecosystem. By protecting you, we're contributing to our broader mission—encouraging coexistence and safeguarding sharks from detrimental human interactions. It's a win-win.

A Nod to Our Roots
While we acknowledge the original vision set by our founder, the real momentum now comes from you— the divers, surfers, and ocean wanderers. We're committed to continuously advancing our technology, aiming to create an environment where both you and our ocean's majestic sharks can coexist safely and harmoniously.

The Next Wave
We're more than just a product; we're a movement. As we continue to evolve, our mission remains unwavering: to equip you for ocean adventures that are as safe as they are thrilling. Want to dig deeper? Check out our Safety Page for comprehensive safety tips and tricks.
