i believe that it was shot entirely in Florida, although there might have been some pickup shots in CA.
there was no elaborate oxygen hookup in the suits- Ricou Browning held his breath (i believe i've read he could hold his breath for nearly four minutes) and that's where the bubbles come from.
the Creature stumbles into the sea at the end of movie two after being shot to death (since he was a fresh water breather, the salt water wouldn't have been too good for him in the first place) and i remember him ending in the water in the third movie, but it's been a while since i've seen it. the theory is he drowned since he didn't have gills any more, but had the film been really successful we would have seen him again.
i'd rather not have a redesigned Creature- that's a classic monster and needs no "improvements"- anything different and it's some other monster, not the Creature.
