These things can survive at significant depths and also out of the water for a period of at least an hour, perhaps longer.
It is entirely possible that magic is involved when it comes to extremes of environmental tolerence they are believed to have exhibited, but at the very least, they seem to be as versatile as dolphins when it comes to the depths they can occupy. I imagine that they have something analogous to swim bladders, if not to lungs.
Of course, the PCs suspect that there are more than one species of marine ultraterrestials, at least one apparently similar to humanoid marine mammals, one or more type of human hybrids and another species (or more) adapted entirely to underwater life, incapable of surviving on land without supernatural means.
