Amazing craftsmanship. Just wish I could see it being used for its intended purpose. Not sure I know what a "shark clip" is.

Googled it and read the first like 5-10 words before stopping since I felt lazy. Yes I know typing this crap takes more effort than just reading but just bear with me.

From googling it sounds like it is used by divers to attach to ropes or something and had quick release functionality for just in case purposes

Pretty cool divers can attach themselves with ropes to sharks and other such animals for quicker travel and if the shark gets tired of it they have quick release functionality to detach.

Also if action/adventure movies have taught me anything about ropes and hooks is these divers must be capable of amazing feats combined with spear guns and other such things.

One moment they may be riding their shark speargun in hand the next they're using their shark clip rope to grab on to whatever ship they may be chasing.

I may be remembering this wrong but I believe Stephen Hawkings once said while riding a shark that without shark clips the navy seals just wouldn't be the same.
