Teen who is far more motivated than you has built his own submarine

We know teenage boys need their privacy, but this is ridiculous. Justin Beckerman, 18, of New Jersey, has built himself a fully functioning one-man submarine, capable of diving to a depth of 30 feet. Beckerman will be able to explore both his local lake and his own inner depths in this high-tech craft, which has a communications system and an ultra-bright light to illuminate his surroundings. His parents must be very proud. But they're saps for letting him build it. You can't make a kid do anything when he's 30 feet under the surface of a lake.
