| Before heading to this location it is worth noting that it has a Treasure Map that can be obtained from Corozal. The second Assassination Contract for Corozal is also located here, but as the first requires you to complete the Fort Chinchorro you may not wish to do that just now. |
The first part of this section is purely about ignoring the jellyfish while making your way to the smuggler's den. Make sure to grab the Treasure below the air pocket before you continue until you reach the smuggler's den. If you have the Corozal Treasure Map you can find the dig location in the south corner of the area before you even head up into the den.
Start by climbing up the wall of the ruins below the Animus Fragment to obtain it and then make your way up the horizontal pillar to the static guard above and ledge assassinate him (Note: many times he will spot you and you will have to engage him and his patrol in combat). If your are lucky enough not to engage every single enemy in the area into combat and are still in stealth after killing the first two guards you can head inside.
This area is hard due to the inability to double assassinate and the difficulty of the guards. The trick is to engage the enemies in the south corner when the circling patrol is far enough away that they will not engage in combat. Stealth kill one of the guards and then counter kill the other quickly before the patrol returns. Take cover and when the patrol comes to survey the area you can take them out without the others engaging. From there, dwindle off any that are left. If for any reason you feel you may need to run away to heal head out the way you came and hide in the water below until the guards reset.
Once the area is clear of guards you can grab the Treasure x2, the Treasure Map off the cadaver, and the Animus Fragment in the middle of the structure above accessed via the beams.
