| 2022-02-14 |  | | Although not perfect Shark Smart is a very useful tool. I check it every time before I go snorkelling. |
| 2022-01-28 |  | | Useful for alerts but as a lot of shark sightings are by members of the public the type of shark is generally unknown. that's ok though. |
| 2022-01-13 |  | | Very handy, especially if you are looking to get away from the shore with a boat, surf ski or paddle board. Avoids nasty surprises. |
