    Final position of scuba diver = 7 feet below the surface.

    Explanation;

    Let us take down direction as positive and up direction as negative.

    A scuba diver dives down 15 feet into the ocean, position of scuba diver = + 15 feet.

    He then swims 8 feet back up towards the surface, position of scuba diver = - 8 feet

    Overall position = 15 - 8 = 7 feet.

    So final position of scuba diver = 7 feet below the surface.
