The change in height can be determined by subtracting the final height from the initial height. In this case, the initial height is 10 meters and the final height (depth in water) is 6 meters.
So, the change in height is: 10 meters - 6 meters = 4 meters.
Therefore, the correct response is: 4 meters.
