$\huge\boxed{\text{Dominic}}$

In this problem, $0$ represents the sea level. Since Dominic is $175$ feet below the surface (sea level), his current location is at $-175$ feet.

The same concept can be applied to Karen, who is at $-138$ feet.

We need to find who is lower, or farther below $0$ . This means the answer is $\boxed{\text{Dominic}}$ .
