Solution

As per the given information, we can draw the diagram,

Let A be the point above the sea level and B be the point below the sea level.
$∴$ Vertical distance between points A and B = Distance between point A and sea level + Distance between point B and sea level
= AO + OB = 8848 + 10911 = 19759 m
