Half-Life 2 Hints
Where do I go in the room with deep water and the mixing fan?
1 of 7: You can't get much of anywhere above water, so dive to the bottom and see what's there.
2 of 7: There's a tunnel in one wall that you can enter.
3 of 7: Carefully time your movement so that you don't get smashed against the wall by the mixing fan while going for the tunnel.
4 of 7: Partway down the tunnel, there's a place where you can surface for air.
5 of 7: Do so and wait for your auxiliary power to fully recharge before going underwater again.
6 of 7: That should be enough to get you all the way to the end without drowning.
7 of 7: Remember that any health you lose due to drown damage will be restored after you're above water and breathing again.
