Why do I have feeling the Colombian cartels might want something to upgrade from those submersibles that the USCG have been intercepting?

According to information published on April 12, 2021, Rubin unveils the first version of a submersible patrol ship combining the benefits of a submarine and a surface patrol vessel. The concept named the Sentry (Border and Offshore Submersible Sentry, BOSS) is intended for foreign customers.
Offshore patrol vessels are relatively inexpensive, which makes them affordable for countries with constrained budgets. Their operation is profitable because they can be used to prevent illegal trade, poaching and other law infringements. Ships of this type are multi-functional and can be used as patrol ships, and as rescue or research vessels as well. Equipment for the new ship comes mostly from surface ships and aircraft and is commercially available.
The ability to dive provides the ship with two advantages at a time: to discreetly observe inflictors (and to catch them red-handed) and evade harsh weather conditions without aborting the mission. A submersible ship can be used as a classical submarine, for intelligence, surveillance & reconnaissance (ISR), as well as other missions. Seabed research capability of the submersible patrol ship would be wider than those of a surface ship. It can also serve as an inexpensive training vessel to give crews seagoing experience and prepare the infrastructure before purchasing classical submarines at a later stage.
