    The diver is swimming up, but the number is in terms of amount below sea level.

    As the diver moves up, the distance between the surface of the sea and the diver shrinks.

    This means we subtract the amount the diver moves from his previous situation.

    35ft - 20ft = 15ft

    The diver's new position is 15ft below sea level.

    15 below sea level

    Step-by-step explanation:

    So they are 35 below sea level so that's - 35. They come up 20 so that's - 35 + 20 which is - 15
