I am not sure what you mean.
The diver dove a total of 10+4.1 = 14.1 meters down
However the diver probably then returned to the water surface, another 4.1 meters up
so if that is what you mean, 14.1+ 4.1 = 18.2 meters is distance traveled
However if you mean the length of the vector from start to finish at the surface after surfacing it would be a net displacement of 10 meters.
