Okay, as the question mentions the tube is attached to the bird in a way that the open end first enters the water. The question also assumes that the dive is purely vertical. Here is the situation.
Now, when the bird (with tube) enters the water, we have
Here, the volume decreases in ideal gas equation
before entering the water, the volume was area of tube multiplied by full length (6.50 cm) and after entering the water, for final pressure, the volume is area of tube multiplied by (6.50 - 2.70)
so, we can write
final pressure * A * 6.50 - 2.70 = initial pressure * 6.5
here initial pressure is 1 atm as tube was open to atmosphere.
so,
final pressure will be
final pressure = 1.710526 atm
Now, equate this to total pressure , we have
1.710526 = atmospheric pressure + pressure due to water depth
1.710526 = 1 + rho*g*h
0.710526 = rho*g*h
(note - convert atm to pa)
so,
h = 0.710526 / gh
h will be around 7.4 m
