Oliver is currently 8 feet above the surface of the water, and the seashells are 18 feet below the surface. To reach the seashells, Oliver would have to travel his current distance from the surface (8 feet) plus the distance from the surface to the seashells (18 feet).

So, Oliver will have to travel a total of 26 feet to get to the seashells.
