Almost all of the 'location' footage was shot in the "Far North" in and
around the City of "Port Douglas." However the studio work (scenes from
the inside of OCRA and such) was done in Victoria, which is near where
JMS has his offices. I recall that they actually had a fire on the set at
one point that caused a lot of damage.
Port Douglas was chosen as a center point for location shooting since it
is the closest land point to the Great Barrier Reef, and it is not far from
"Townsville" which is where they did the filming for the scenes in the
'tunnels' at ORCA where you can see the ocean outside. That place is a
reef aquarium, located inland and not 'under' the ocean at all.
