A scuba diver dove to 40 feet below the surface of the water. He then dove an additional 17 feet. What is depth of the scuba diver

To find the total depth of the scuba diver, we can add the initial depth of 40 feet to the additional depth of 17 feet.

\[
\text{Total depth} = 40 \, \text{feet} + 17 \, \text{feet} = 57 \, \text{feet}
\]

So, the scuba diver is 57 feet below the surface of the water.

Here are 5 related questions:
1. If the diver ascends 20 feet from a depth of 57 feet, what would be his new depth?
2. What is the relationship between pressure and depth underwater?
3. How does water density affect the pressure experienced by a diver at different depths?
4. If a diver started at the surface and descended at a rate of 5 feet per minute, how long would it take to reach 57 feet?
5. How would the depth of 57 feet affect a diver's buoyancy?

**Tip:** For every 33 feet of depth underwater, the pressure increases by one atmosphere.
