Perhaps it was the camera angles. I noticed in these series that rather than many of the wide shots the cameras had fairly narrow field of views possibly to conceal locations.
I also find it interesting to note in these series that unlike Series 1 to 4 the credits do not acknowledge the locations.
Was this due to a change in BBC policy?

I don't know for sure in series 5 & 6 exactly where all the scenes were but when I was crew on the Soren Larsen�for the last series we did a lot of filming out of Falmouth and over in the Helford River. I recognise any jungle river�scenes as being right up the river Fal�near King Harry Ferry. I guess these waters were occasionally used in earlier�series.

Just been watching the Memphis Belle editions of Series 5 & 6.
Gloucester Docks are easily recogniseable and having done trips on the Bristol channel on PS WAVERLEY and MV BALMORAL I am fairly familiar with the coastline.
Howevert, I have had difficulty identifying locations used for the coastal filming. Never appeared to be much of a problem when filming was done down in Devon.
Anyone have knowledge as to where coastal and shore scenes were filmed?
