After pulling the chain to open the gate, as shown in the previous section...

Return through the passageway then the crawlspace to the ledge overlooking the poles.

Safety drop off the ledge to land at the base of the nearer pole.

Turn around and walk to the outer left corner (so the pole is behind Lara). Take a standing jump onto the slope to the left of the second pole, slide back and grab the edge.

Let go to drop into the water-filled opening below.

Grab a small medipack from the bottom. Then swim out to the pool below the poles...

...and pick up some flares in the far left corner. Surface for air if necessary. Then follow the underwater passage in the far right corner to get back to the LAKE.

This passage turns to the right...

...then upward, but it doesn't have any forks or dead-ends, so you can't get lost. When you enter the vertical section, Lara is facing north.

If you make a 180 turn on the way up the vertical shaft (sorry this is hard to draw)...

...she'll emerge facing south, which is the direction you want to go. Swim forward...

...then turn left and swim through the gate you just opened using the pull chain.

Head for the far right or far left corner ledge and climb out of the water.

From there you can shoot the 2 crocodiles. If the second one doesn't immediately appear, jump back in the pool and swim around a bit to get its attention. Then climb back onto the ledge, where the crocs can't reach you.
