Barkhang Monastery - Pool with Strong Current

At the top of the boulder-trapped hallway is a room with a pool. Save the game in the doorway.

Then dive in and swim along the right wall, then the far wall, then into the small opening near the far left corner.

- OR -

Hang from the edge of the doorway and drop into the water.

Then swim along the near wall, then the left wall, then the left side of the far wall to the opening. This way is a little longer but the current is not as strong on the far side of the room.

As you swim along the edge of the pool, it's crucial that you stay near the wall and not swim too close to the surface or the bottom; otherwise the strong current will draw Lara toward the grate at the bottom of the pool and she'll drown.
