Cape Town’s shark whisperer introduces the SHARKBRO

Posted by Anton Crone on 3 April 2012

He’s lean. He’s mean. He communicates with the toothy demons of the deep. Conn Bertish, BSoc Sci Graduate of UCT, jumped into the shark tank at Cape Town’s aquarium last week Monday to demonstrate the incredible SHARKBRO, a shark repellant he and SASCRAL (the South African Surfers Call Laboratory) have been developing using the sciences of chemistry, paleontology and method-linguistics.

‘Our aim is to debunk the ridiculous fear humans seem to have regarding sharks,’ says Bertish, ‘My team and I have been field testing SharkBro for the last 8 months and none of us have been killed or mauled at all.’

SHARKBRO

The demonstration did indeed prove that SHARKBRO is 100% effective. Bertish is a tasty looking morsel and any shark with a carnivorous bent would never pass up this opportunity for a snack. On top of this, Bertish was easy prey contained and vulnerable as he was in the confines of the shark tank. And if that wasn’t temptation enough the sharks had a captive audience as crowds of people stared into the tank, hungry for a horror show.

Yet, after paddling around for 30 minutes on a variety of surf boards equipped with the repellant as well as tempting the sharks with the classic seal pose and diving down to show them his tasty bits, Bertish emerged completely unharmed.

Kudos to Mr. Bertish for making us feel easier around our fishy friends.

More proof of our irrational fear are these worldwide statistics based on the year 2003

Shark Attack 4 deaths
Contact with hot tap-water 26 deaths
Lightning 47 deaths
Contact with hornets, wasps and bees 66 deaths

 

For his next stunt Bertish will stand dangerously close to a tap of hot running water.
