The film's crew reported that South Australia was "the highlight" of the shoot according to a 13th February 2009 article published in the Adelaide Advertiser (Adelaide Now). Then South Australian Tourism Minister Jane Lomax-Smith said this film highlighted "world-class underwater experiences" offered in South Australia. Producer Michele Hall said: "One of the best things for me in making this film was the opportunity to get into the water with the sea lions" [located in South Australia].
According to IMAX Melbourne, this film features an "up-close look at South Australia's exquisite Leafy Sea Dragon and the endangered puppy-like Sea Lion - animals that can be found nowhere else on Earth."
