An underwater diver sees the sun 43° above horizontal. How high is the sun above the horizon to a fisherman?
An underwater diver sees the sun 43° above horizontal. How high is the sun above the horizon to a fisherman in a boat above the diver?

I tried doing the whole n1 sinX1 = n2 sinX2
and got (1.33)(sin 43) = (1.00)(sin X) so the answer I got was 65.102 degrees, but apparently that's not correct.
So then figured maybe I was using the wrong angle. So I tried:
(1.33)(sin (45-3)) = (1.00)(sin (45-x)) and got x=2.6604
Can anyone help me figure what I'm doing wrong and/or point me in the right direction? Am I using the proper equation?
