Venice - Through the Canals - Secret #3 (Jade Dragon)

After detonating the mines and unlocking the "Cooler than Moonraker" achievement/trophy, detailed in the last section, drive the remaining boat back the way you came. Pass under the bridge where you destroyed the 3 gondolas and turn the next corner to the left.

Just beyond the entrance to the BOAT LOCK (M), now on your right, is another wooden dock with yet another armed thug (16) (Q on the map). Either park next to the dock and jump out onto it, or leave the speedboat here, near the BOAT LOCK.

Swim to the corner, pull up onto the dock...

...and take out the bad guy. Two shotgun blasts at close range will do the trick.

He drops a large medi pack and 2 boxes of shotgun shells (18-20).

Get back in the boat and continue straight past the dock where you killed that last thug. Ignore the canal off to the right.

At the next corner, pass the gate you just opened (O) and turn right, under another stone bridge.

Ahead is a dock with 2 parked gondolas (R on the map). Ram the gondolas to destroy them, since you'll need a clear path here later on.

Park alongside the dock and jump out.

When you step on the dock, a bad guy (17) with a bat comes through the door. Kill him quickly. Or, to conserve health and ammo, immediately jump into the water...

...and swim to the corner beyond the boat, where Lara can stand in the shallow water and shoot from safety.

Retrieve the small medi pack (21) the bat man drops. Step into the doorway then step back and shoot 2 rats (18-19) that emerge. (Don't let them bite Lara if you want the "No Time for the Plague" achievement/trophy.)

Enter and flip the switch...

...to open a door elsewhere. (This door is marked S on the map.)

Now go after a secret. Just above the dock outside the room with the switch, there's a glassed-in walkway. Stand below the walkway and jump straight up to grab the edge. If Lara doesn't grab it at first, just hold Action + Jump and she'll gradually hop her way forward until she's able to grab.

Pull up and shoot out the window. Enter and pick up SECRET #3, the Jade Dragon (22), plus 4 sets of automatic pistol clips (23-26) if you also found the other two secrets.

NOTE: This is a good spot for the "Emergency Exit" achievement/trophy, if you didn't get it earlier. Just jump forward through any of these windows to shatter it with Lara's body. If you missed the secret and moved on, don't worry. You'll be able to get it later from the other side.
