Actually, the level is pretty short and simple, if you know its secret. Here's how to beat it:
Drop into the hole in front of you. You'll find yourself halfway submerged. Go and turn the steering wheel thingy in front of you to turn off the damaging steam blasting through a pipe. Now turn all the way around (a 180 degree turn) and swim for the opening underwater. Press C-Down to dive through the hole, then C-Up to go up. Then, catch a quick breath of air here, and make a 180 degree turn. Look down. There's a hole. Dive for it, and when you reach the bottom look up. Then swim through this hole and look down. Here's another hole. Dive until you reach the bottom, then look up and swim forward.
When you grab the MBPOW90, look up. Here's another hole above you. Swim up towards it and catch another breath of air here. Then make a 180 degree turn, look down and swim through the hole again. Then look up and swim throughout the hallway here. When you reach the end, look down. Dive through the hole and keep swimming down. You'll pass a ladder sticking out of a hole. Continue down without stopping until you see one hole you're facing and another a little above it. Dive through the one above it and fill up on oxygen in this room. Then, dive again, aiming for the other hole. You'll come to a room with a drowned man and computer sitting on a table. Look around and you'll see a more rectangular hole. Go through it.
Now dive in the direction in this hole. Swim through the hallway, then enter the first hole you encounter. If you go through the correct one, you'll see an air pocket in the distance. While swimming towards it, equip the MBPOW90.
As soon as you burst out of the water you encounter some enemies. Mow them down and take the ammo. Then, go to the other end of the hallway. Look up and equip your grapple watch, and zoom it al the way in. Shoot at the grapple point and climb up, turning a 180 degree while climbing. There's a dude here hiding behind the steam blasting out of the pipe. Kill him and take his ammo. Then look up. You should see something that looks like a refrigerator with an open door. There's another grapple point here. Climb the rope, and when you enter the pink room you'll complete Objective A: Enter the reactor chamber. You also get a new objective: Stop the meltdown.
Now look up and kill the dude on the ledge. Then look up even more. You'll see a green, transparent tube with...Renard inside it. Below the tube is a large rectangular button with some pipes stretched out below it. Jump onto the pipes and press the button. This will trigger a cutscene showing Renard's rod almost to meltdown point. Then the rod will burst out and hit him in the chest. Now you've completed two objectives: Eliminate Renard and stop the meltdown. A new one will be added: Escape the flooding sub.
Remember when you first killed the man on the ledge? Face the ledge and wait for the second dude to slide down. Kill him, and now you know where the next grapple point is. It is near where the man just slid down. Grapple and climb. Then walk down the halls, looking for grapple points and climbing. Beware: stay away from the holes! If you fall through them the drop is so steep you'll be killed instantly. Just keep grappling and avoiding steep drops until you grapple and climb into a certain hallway, where you'll complete the mission.
