Trivia

 * This level actually utilizes the fact that the floor and roof are untextured, by simply clearing the floor to blue which meshes with the blue bottoms of the wall textures.
 * This theme is revisited in The Subterranean River in Catacomb Armageddon and The Water Node of Time plus The Flooded City in Catacomb Apocalypse.
