It's a very interesting passage. Teleportation could be possible, not on the basis of the word snatched away, but, the phrase "the eunuch no longer saw him" and it seemed immediate as he rised out the water. Seeing that baptism is done by hand, for him to be longer seen right when it comes out the water, might indicate a miracle. Some translations say "no longer saw him again" as if to say they never met again, but the "again" part is not found in the Greek, simply "he was no longer saw". So either he ran away by inspiration very, very quickly as soon as he pulled the Ethiopian out the water, or, something else happened. Great to consider all the interpretations though.
