Hey guys, need some help here. Not sure if my version of Snakewood is outdated or something (can't be, right? I downloaded the patch from here and applied it to a Ruby ROM, but when I want to go to the abandoned mines there is simply no way. The picture I attached should explain it. The setting is to the east of Pacifidlog, a bit south to where the abandoned mines should be.
As you can see, it's all rapids and there's no land to the north. All there is to the north is a big patch of dive-able water which is sealed away by rocks, so I can't access it. If it helps, I have not defeated the Elite 4 (heck, I haven't even gone into Victory Road) but I have killed Esau and have called Dr Blackthorn, who told me to go to the abandoned mines.
Is it due to my ROM being outdated? Though I hope it isn't a problem with the ROM, as I'd hate to restart the game at this stage (I restarted this before due to the same problem, this time using the patch attached by Cutlerine, but the problem still appeared). If something else is the problem, does anyone know how to solve it?
