(CNN) A 13-year-old boy was attacked early Saturday by a shark while diving for lobsters in waters off Encinitas, California, near San Diego, authorities said. The boy sustained traumatic injuries to his upper torso and was taken to a hospital. Encinitas is about 25 miles north of San Diego. Several people were in the water diving for lobsters, he said, because it was opening season for catching the crustaceans. Three good Samaritans heard the boy's cries and assisted in bringing him ashore using a kayak, Giles said.
