There's another diving platform for the High Diving Challenge here. If you haven't completed it yet, wait until you finish exploring the Crypt, since you'll exit here.

There's also a condor's nest you can loot for condor feathers and/or the Keep Calm and Carrion Challenge.

Where the tunnel splits, head to the left first to find some gold ore, a resource container, and a mischief of rats. Then backtrack to the fork and head the other way.
