They were 97 feet apart

64+33=97

They are 97 feet apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scuba driver is 33 feet below the sea level.

Height of the hiker is 64 feet above the sea level.

Now we have to determine the distance between suba driver and hiker.

Since height of scuba driver = (-33 feet)

and height of hiker = 64 feet.

So difference between them = 64 + 33

= 97 feet.

They are 97 feet apart.
