It has swimmer detection, underwater hailing by voice, and non-lethal deterrent.
It uses a sonar system called Parametric Port Security Sonar System (P2S3), which uses a narrow-beam sound technology called Parametric Array
Sonic Echo Ranging (PASER, which is a tradename).
It claims to be able to detect divers at distances up to 2 kilometers = 1.24 miles.

Parametric array
The parametric array is a nonlinear transduction mechanism that generates narrow, nearly sidelobe free beams of low frequency sound, through the mixing and interaction of high frequency sound waves, effectively overcoming the diffraction limit associated with linear acoustics...
