Immersive shielding was initially used by Tom Paris, Seven of Nine, Harry Kim, and B'lana Torres during the first flight of the Delta Flyer into the atomosphere of a gas giant that one of Voyager's probes flew into. (VOY: "Extreme Risk") This shielding was later used by Tom Paris, Harry Kim, Seven of Nine, and a Monean named Riga to submerge the Delta Flyer into an environment primarily composed of water.
Immersive shielding is more effective, when used in conjunction with structural integrity shielding, at ensuring that a space-faring vessel may more easily make the transition from a vacuum to a liquid or other high-pressure environment. This also enables the vessel to submerge to depths in excess of 600 km, compensating for the external pressure of such an environment. (VOY: "Thirty Days")
