A laser beam starts rotating, quickly go down the slope, and when the laser beam hits the "diamond switch" on the right, the water level rises. Now swim across the pool then notice a magnetic barrel and a switch at the bottom of the water. Place the barrel above the switch (the former floats), then go back across the pool. In view of reaching another chest near the monk, create ice pillars to reach the diamond, drop a bomb near it, then come back to the crank. Turn it towards the right, the laser rotates again, then the water goes away. If the barrel was placed right, it falls down on the switch, the bars are lifted, but you're blocked. Turn the crank towards the left to make the water level rise, then turn it towards the right, but this time quickly jump into the water, go across by dashing 3-4 times and get out before the water level lowers. If you need to, put the barrel back on the switch. Get close to the monk, then detonate the bomb to activate the diamond and have the water rise again. Now you can create an ice pillar in front of the elevated chest and pick up a Giant Boomerang! Then receive another Spirit Orb.
