The submarine starts at a depth of 500 meters and descends to a depth of 1,000 meters. To find the distance descended, we can subtract the initial depth from the final depth:
\[
\text{Distance descended} = \text{Final depth} - \text{Initial depth} = 1000 \text{ meters} - 500 \text{ meters} = 500 \text{ meters}
\]
Thus, the distance that the submarine descended is **500 meters**.
\[
\text{Distance descended} = \text{Final depth} - \text{Initial depth} = 1000 \text{ meters} - 500 \text{ meters} = 500 \text{ meters}
\]
Thus, the distance that the submarine descended is **500 meters**.
