Is it true that Curtains of bubbles deter sharks from approaching?

Unclear. The retrieved items include two fish-deterrence studies in which bubble curtains failed to stop muskellunge or only partly deterred carp, but neither study tested sharks, so the evidence only partially bears on the claim and does not settle it.
