The Explorer 200 feet and at 25 feet per minute he would be at 450ft below sea level.

Since the diver is being pulled up 25 feet every minute (25 ft/min) and the diver is 200 feet below sea level you have to find the solution for

25 ft * 10 min. = 250 ft

So then by 10 minutes the diver will be 50 feet above sea level.
