A man and a teenage boy who federal authorities said used self-propelled underwater dive scooters to illegally enter the United States were arrested Wednesday night in Imperial Beach.
They were spotted about 8:45 p.m. by the crew of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection airplane, CBP officials said Thursday.
They had been walking north on the beach, south of Seacoast Drive, carrying the dive scooters. U.S. Border Patrol agents who responded said the two, ages 38 and 16, were trying to conceal themselves in the sand. They were wearing wetsuits.
They were taken to a Border Patrol station for processing.

At about 8:45 p.m., the crew of a Customs and Border Protection Office of Air and Marine aircraft spotted two suspicious subjects in wetsuits who were carrying dive scooters.

Agents questioned the males, a 38-year-old and a 16-year-old, and arrested them after determining they were Mexican nationals who had used the dive scooters to illegally enter the United States. Agents transported the two to a local Border Patrol station for processing.
