It is a large, vertical room with three scan posts that need to be scanned in order to open the large lock that blocks access to [[Hydrodynamo Shaft]]. There is also a missile expansion, a seeker door that can be opened without the [[Seeker Missiles]], and a Morph [[Secret World]].

==Activating the Scan Posts Early==
While you can scan one of the three scan posts right away under normal conditions, the other two normally require a very large detour that wastes a lot of time. There are multiple methods of avoiding this, saving several minutes.

===Underwater Dash Methods===
Some methods exist that take advantage of [[Underwater Movement#Underwater Dashing|Underwater Dashing]]. The ways in which this is carried out vary amongst runners.

====Method #1====
The first method involves lining up with a specific spot while on the top platform. This method requires a feel for where Samus will end up going, as it's easy to bonk on the platform and fail the jump. With enough practice, however, this can be made consistent.

====Method #2====
This method is less popular, but still viable. Jump off of the platform, facing in the direction of the scan post you want to scan, then perform an underwater dash using the Space Jump.

===Air Underwater Method===
If Samus has [[Screw Attack]], then [[Underwater Movement#Air Underwater|Air Underwater]] can be utilized in order to Screw Attack to the scan posts.

==Seeker Skip==
If the player has Air Underwater, they can open the seeker door leading to [[Training Access]] without the Seeker Missiles.

==Secret World==
The secret world in this room is precise, and requires a very specific visual setup to perform. First open the door to [[Save Station B (Torvus Bog)|Save Station B]] and carefully enter the room without transitioning, sliding across the wall near the door. Next, look at a very precise point and morph. If successful, Samus will be repositioned out of bounds.
