Answer:

deepest part of dive is 2.5 feets below sea level ;

-2.5 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Initial Position = 5.8 feets above sea level = +5.8

Deepest part of dive = x

Change in elevation between initial position and deepest part of dive = 8.3 feets

Position relative to sea level at deepest part of dive :

x = change in elevation - Initial position

x = 8.3 feets - 5.8 feets

x = 2.5 feets

Hence, deepest part of dive is 2.5 feets below sea level
