The door you need to unlock with this key is in the opposite corner. Swim over to it and unlock the door. Through the door is another crate. Pull it out into the main area so it's floating in the deep water.

Now, swim down and through to the room where the first crate is blocking the drain. Get up onto the ledge where the valve is and use the Pullcaster to remove the crate from the drain, lowering the water again. Now you have two crates.

Grab the second crate and move it over to the above location. Then, push the first crate back into the drain to raise the water once more.

Return to the second crate, which is now floating, and you'll be able to reach the handhold and start climbing. At the very top, turn around and pick up the Ornament.
