Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Secrets

1. Head east and south at the northeastern walkway and shoot the vent past the Stinger Assault Rifle. Shoot the next vent to the south after the previous one closes and follow the passage down for a shortcut to the red key room. (sector 1369)
2. After activating the pumping system at the southwestern end of the map, swim back down and head east. Surface there, then swim into the other pool of water and down to find a green armor. (sector 1179)
3. At the northwestern end of the map, after restoring flow to the canals, get to the crates in the southeastern part of the area and jump to the open one with a backpack inside. (sector 941)
