Climb out of the shallow pit and go through the doorway on the left to an open area.

There's a small medipack on a low block in plain sight—perfect Lara-bait to distract her from the hungry crocodile that crawls in from the left. If you hop up onto the sloping ledge just beyond the medipack...

...the croc can't reach you. Shoot it as it approaches.

Then follow the ledge around toward the lake...

...and shoot another crocodile swimming around below.

If you want all the kills, approach the dark alcove to the north to awaken the 2 bats hiding inside.

After killing them, head back to the south.

The raised crawlspace in the southeast corner leads to a SMALL POOL WITH TWO OBELISKS ON AN ISLAND in the center. There are a few pick-ups and scorpions there, but you're missing some necessary items. So ignore the crawlspace for now and continue around the corner to the right (west).

Follow the ramp down to the water, but don't start swimming around just yet.

Stand at the bottom of the ramp and look across the water to the west. You should be able to spot a crocodile sunning itself on the far bank. Lara won't aim at it from this distance, but if you shoot in its general direction, you can get its attention and then kill it as it swims toward you.

A second crocodile then comes to investigate. Kill it the same way. Now swim across the lake to the sandy ledge where the crocodiles were.

Note the closed gate on the building in the middle of the lake. You'll need to open it. Follow the outer wall around to the north side.
