The story written by Bernard McConville was purchased for $10,000, and production began on February 2 at Robert Brunton studios, now Paramount Studios. A large tank of water was specially created for the film in Riverside, California and a diving bell was used to film underwater scenes. The scene where Annette Kellerman dived from the top of a schooner yacht, a height of 75 feet, was filmed off the coast of Balboa Beach. In mid-May it was announced that Reed Heustis, writer for the Los Angeles Evening Herald, and Vincent P. Bryan, composer, would be writing the intertitles for the film. Production was completed by late May, in time for the June premiere. The film reportedly cost more than $250,000 to make.

The film was given its premiere on June 1 in Santa Ana, California.
