Where was the Moray eel from THE DEEP filmed?

Almost all of the scenes inside the wreck of Goliath, including the eel, were filmed at the world's Biggest Underwater Set (BUS), a purpose built underwater soundstage at Ireland Island South, Bermuda. The BUS looking west from above The Lagoon (Source  Sony Pictures ) The location has no specific postal address but lies on top a hill once called "Hospital Island" above a private home at 17 Malabar Rd, Sandys MA 01, Bermuda .  There is a secret buried at the summit of  Lagoon Road and Heydon Road . Most who pass by never notice the crumbling narrow driveway that disappears into the forest. The entry seems to go nowhere and the old stone wall unfurls all the way down to the Great Sound. But this mysterious place has one of the most layered histories in all of Bermuda. Remnants of the past continue to reveal themselves including traces of a long gone Royal Naval Hospital and  The Deep  underwater soundstage. 1976 - The Deep BUS on the hill formerly known as Hospital Islan
