A gondola skimmersub was similar to a bongo, with a fish-like central fin, a central sail that collapsed when diving, to maneuver underwater and smaller repulsorsails both in port and starboard sides. It had transparisteel windows and could reach a maximum depth of 500 meters. Unlike the bongo, the gondola skimmersub could not use the locab plasma of Naboo.
As of 29 BBY, most families in Bartyn's Landing owned one of these.
This vehicle might have some relation with the subskimmers available for rent at Ackrahbala's Swoops & Speeders.
