Where was Chelovek-amfibiya filmed

Amphibian Man was filmed in the USSR, in the Crimea and Baku (the capital of Azerbaijan), like many other Soviet films set outside the Soviet Union. Filming took place there and for another reason: the water in Laspi Bay was surprisingly clear and suitable for underwater filming. However, initially for the role of the Caribbean Sea tried the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. The water of the Caspian Sea turned out to be too turbid, in the Black Sea there was a problem with the color of the water, as well as with the underwater world, and in the Crimea the transparency, although leaving much to be desired, was still much higher.
