Measurement of distance under water is the same as on the surface, nautical miles which differ from statute miles used on land. A Nautical mile is 6076 feet compared to a statute mile which is 5280 feet. The nautical mile is based on the circumference of the earth at the equator and divided that distance by 360 degrees then each degree by 60 minutes. One minute is equal to one nautical mile.
