"Anybody who goes into the water — anybody who swims, surfs, standup paddle board, body boarders divers," said Collin Kobayashi of 3D Innovations.
Several thousand devices have been built and are selling for $299 without a leash and $335 with a leash. A similar device called the "Shark Shield" was sold in Australia for over $700.
