The invention is directed toward an autonomous submersible aquatic drone, a system utilizing an autonomous submersible aquatic drone and a control unit, a control unit for controlling an autonomous submersible aquatic drone, and a method for using the same. The autonomous submersible aquatic drone comprises a shaped housing, a propulsion system, one or more electromotors, a camera, a sonar unit, a wireless transponder, a battery, a microcontroller unit, and a control hardware unit. The control hardware unit is configured with artificial intelligence logic. The submersible drone surveys a predetermined area around a person engaged in a water sport for the presence of an underwater threat. When the aquatic drone detects the presence of an underwater threat the submersible drone sends a warning signal to a control unit worn by the person. The aquatic drone may also have a threat response unit to deter an attack on the person.
