Secret Shell #39 – From the same spot with the walls look on the left side for a section of ground wrapping back toward the entrance to the area.

Secret Shell #42 – Back under the giant island, look down to the left where you can see some lanterns in front of an opening. Use the lower boat to jump down to this opening to find the shell.
Water Point #16 – Follow the main path to the large inveted tower where there is a bowl ramp with lanterns in the bottom.
Water Point #17 – On top of the island, go into the large building and use the half pipe to reach the upper room, then drop to the lower area where the water point is.

Secret Shell #44 – Follow the bridge that has now appeared leading toward the exit of the level, but instead of going all the way up look off the right side where there is a boat on a pillar where you can spot a shell on top. Jump and water grind over to reach it.
