Answer:

Alex

Explanation:

Representing the position of each person with respect to sea level :

Jack = surface of the ocean = 0 m

Max = Deck of a ship = elevation is above sea level = positive distance or elevation

Alex = Searching for sea life = below ocean surface = negative distance or elevation

Given an elevation of - 5m, then the person who could be at this elevation is Alex
