Isabella starts her dive at +2 meters (above sea level) and dives down 10 meters.
To find her position below sea level, you can subtract the 10 meters from her starting position:
\[ 2 , \text{meters (above sea level)} - 10 , \text{meters (down)} = -8 , \text{meters} \]
So, Isabella is 8 meters below sea level.
Final answer: \(-8\) meters.
