Objectives: Trigger all the switches to activate the Hanging Waters level.
This is a murky level filled with jellyfish, so swim carefully. Find the entrance to the structure (there's a dolphin swimming around outside) and follow the tunnel to the chamber where the Inspector dolphin is. Talk to her and she will leave the room to do her rounds. Your goal is to follow her without her noticing you and gain entrance to a secret room.
Follow her slowly at first, and as soon as she leaves the main structure and heads down, don't bother to swim down with her. Instead, swim in the same direction and eventually she will swim up and show you where to go. At this time you can get closer to her, and as soon as she goes into the tube, follow her before the door closes. It may take you a few tries before getting the timing just right.
Talk to the dolphin in this room and then go find the Engineer dolphin (it's the one swimming around the entrance to the central structure). He will tell you that all eight Power Couplings must be turned on before the machine has enough power to operate.
Go into the structure as you did before, but this time turn left after the first door and keep taking every left turn (the first four switches you need to turn on are in these rooms) until you're back where you started. Now take the path to the right until you reach a sealed door. Backtrack and take the exit to the left of the sealed door to fight the Security dolphin.
Security Dolphin
This fight is pretty easy. All you have to do is hit the Security dolphin with your sonar to stun him and dash attack him. After five or six hits he will go down. Hit the switch in the room and head for the sealed door, which is now the first left turn when you exit this room.
Talk to the whales and they will agree to power up the generator. This is your fifth Power Coupling. Only three to go.
Head back to the main tunnel and take the opening before the exit. You will be in a room with a strange contraption and three grates around it. There is a Power Coupling inside each of the grates that you can activate with your sonar. After that is done just head to the room at the beginning of the main tunnel and place Ecco's head in the machine (just like the other two dolphins).
