From time to time you will find some but the majority of it has been taken off the market because they have found that it really does not work. It (chemicals, sounds, etc) might work from time to time, but overall it is not a constant repellent.
What you will always find on the market is stuff like aquatic chain mail clothing, spear guns and there are also some handy dandy shark sticks out there.
If you are wondering because you want to go into waters were sharks are, the best thing to do is to just be smart about it... that in all honest is your best form of protection (other than something like a shark cage if you were diving WITH the sharks). For example do not go swimming/surfing where people are fishing, do not wear high contrasting clothing in the water, avoid swimming in trouble areas or alone and do not swim at dusk or dawn.

I think the only person who has EVER had shark repellent is Batman. By the time they bite a human, they usually spit them back out and go away. Evidently, we don't taste very good.
"Quick, Robin! Hand me down the shark-repellent bat-spray!"

There was some evidence that ammonia repelled sharks. Have never tried it myself nor do I want to, especially.
