To find out how far you dove, you need to calculate the difference in depth between your starting point and your endpoint.
Starting depth: 13 meters below sea level = -13 meters
Ending depth: 67 meters below sea level = -67 meters
Now, subtract the starting depth from the ending depth:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Ending depth} - \text{Starting depth} = -67 - (-13) = -67 + 13 = -54 \text{ meters}
\]
The distance you dove is 54 meters, and because you went deeper, it can be expressed as -54 meters in terms of direction.
The correct response would be:
**54 meters**.
