The man traveled a distance of 48 feet.
To see why, we can break down the problem into two parts:
1. When the man jumps from the platform to the water, he descends 30 feet to the water's surface.
2. After diving into the water, the man continues to descend another 18 feet to reach a depth of 18 feet below the surface.
Therefore, the total distance the man has traveled is 30 feet + 18 feet = 48 feet.
