    - 300 feet or 300 feet below sea level

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Starting elevation of diver = 0 feet

    decrease of elevation in 1 minute = 60 feet

    decrease of elevation in 1 * 5 minute = 60*5 feet = 300 feet

    therefore

    in five minutes diver loses 300 feet elevation

    Elevation of diver after 5 minute = Starting elevation of diver - value of decrease of elevation of diver in five minutes

    Elevation of diver after 5 minute = 0 feet - 300 feet = - 300 feet.

    Therefore Elevation of diver after 5 minute is - 300 feet

    i. e 300 feet below sea level as sea level elevation is taken as standard value of elevation of 0 feet.
