Obi Wan swam ahead, blind, trying to feel ahead with his hands, shying away from the slimy walls of the narrow pipe. The pipe narrowed abruptly, and claustrophobia belatedly set in. Obi Wan felt his heart speed up, although, thanks to his Jedi training, he still had plenty of air. The confines of the space were not all that troubled him.

He tried ridiculing himself. It was only water after all, and a corpse was only decaying matter. He was being childish.

He had just started to feel better when the trailing end of the rope touched his ankle.
