If you couldn't do it better, who else could have.

Can you be more specific about this issue you're having?

everything. finding where to go. getting killed every single time because of that shark. poor island design. there is plenty more things to say but these ones are the main problem

The shark: The one that follows your boat? If you park the boat a ways away, then go on land for a little bit then the shark won't follow you underwater. Works in other places too.

Where to go: Between the buildings is the place to start. Most of where you need to explore is highlighted with glowing coral, or in places tagged with 'G'.

Breathing: I went through perhaps 5 sets of oxygen bottles and flippers. To attempt Varuna without them is to suffer. Stock up and come back if needed. Air can be found at bubble spots, and if you're indoors then look for bobbers with ropes underneath that hint you can swim up and breathe at the ceiling.

Craft air bottles and fins. They make underwater sections easier.

Build a giant ramp instead of jumping around to get on the crane. Palm leaf roof segments are the easiest and cheapest in my experience.
Getting air from bubbles is a great tip - I didn't know that on my first run through and it was pretty hard.

The good healing salves out heal drowning damage. If you attack the shark during its attack then it will likely not hurt you.

Also eat some Salmon Salad. Slows your breathing down. Helps with the rhino shark, you don't have to get air as often when leading shark to pillars.

That crane nearly had me in tears. I was so frustrated. I tried again and again to jump from the top of the construction vehicle to the broken pillars and always fell jumping from the first pillar to the second.
I always played games like The Sims and Tropico (aside from my old NES days) Your tip to just build a ramp from your boat saved the day. I do not care how much in materials I wasted.

With the bonusses from meals and drinks (swim faster, bigger lung capacity) + flippers and oxygen bottle, it's pretty easy to do a full run in one go, because you will fined new rations on the way in.

At the big shark there is more air than just the bubbles for air. In the lower corners, there are air-pockets in which the shark will not attack you.

Just stopping by to get validation for my upcoming task of ascending the crane to get to the top level in Varuna Point by building a ridiculously tall tower. I really hate jump puzzles and will do just about anything to avoid that crap, including jumping around the mountain on Balboa and making a really tall tower for the radio station. Palm leaf roof segments is a really good tip.

Explore for some time, soon enough you'll know. Or, watch a video, words will hardly cut it.

Don't anchor close by. Should already never do that anywhere this far into the game.

poor island design

It's not the easiest but there's not many spots where you'll run in circles. Be patient, know your options, and plan how to progress through them, and you won't have to repeat or backtrack much.
