Answer: Elevation after the dives is -28 feet

A divers elevation is -10 feet relative to the sea level

She dives down 18 feet

Her elevation after the dives can be calculated as

The 18 feet will be negative because she is diving down the sea level. This means she is going below

-10 + (-18) = -10 - 18

Elevation after the dive = -28 feet

The answer is - 28 feet
