Den A

From the Tower of Waters on Challenge Beach, go to the left side of the tower (while facing the tower entrance) and, with your back to the tower, swim straight ahead. It’s halfway between the tower and the elongated pair of islands, near the transition into Stepping-Stone Sea. Expect a Sharpedo coming your way.
