Out of that whole level, I think many of us spent as much time in that
general area as in the rest of the level. It's up stream, right next
to the part that leads into the "ocean," but you can't get in there.
As you face the ocean (where you might catch a glimpse of Nessie) the
Uzi is to your left. That jump would be from high up on your right.
The first time I tried to get the uzi, I made it. From ground level
on the right, I jumped in the water and swam toward that "wall" keeping
you out of the ocean, and then tried to pull out just as I neared the
land on the other side. Lara seemed to jump out strangely, like there's
a bug in that spot. I've tried that again (and again) and decided I was
just lucky. It can be done, but it isn't easy. You have to catch it
just right. If you miss, the current pulls you down stream and it's a
bit of a walk to get back and try again.
As for walking around on that ocean... The only way back there I know
of is by using a location editor on a savegame. If there's a way from
within the game, I've never found it. And I *have* tried.
