If you have returned from a later level to complete this challenge tomb, just use the base camp to fast travel to wherever you left off. If this is your first time through the CENOTE, you'll need to make your way on foot. From the Collapsed Temple Base Camp, swim across the pool, climb out on the ledge at water level, then climb up on the left.

Then continue on to the cavern with the sunken rowboat. (Remember you passed through here earlier on your way to the tomb?) Turn left (south) here...
