The Protostar type aquashuttle was a type of small shuttlecraft designed for traveling underwater and used on Federation Protostar-class starships.
The submersible shuttle could accommodate three crewmembers, the two passengers taking place above the pilot. (PRO: "Asylum") In the construction of these ships, a vehicle replicator in the starship's shuttlebay might be utilized and the shuttle could be constructed in quick order. (PRO: "Starstruck")

Aaron Waltke described this aquashuttle's design as being perhaps derived from similar Vulcan engineering designs to those used for the Jellyfish, repurposed for underwater exploration. [1]
