The idea of an aquatic shuttlecraft and a water world would not be seen again until the "Star Trek: Voyager" episode of "Thirty Days" when the crew of the Voyager encountered a world comprised of water and configured the Delta Flyer for an underwater mission.
   
"Argo" was later the name of the "dune buggy" shuttlecraft seen in "Star Trek Nemesis."
   
The idea of "mutating crew" was later used in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Genesis" and the "Star Trek: Enterprise" episode "Extinction."
   
Due to budgetary constraints, the "water-rippling" effect could only be used in certain underwater scenes.
   
For some reason, all of the dialogue spoken underwater can be heard perfectly by all the characters. Poetic license, perhaps?
