A lot of requests here, thanks for your resources and time.

If you haven't figured out by now, I like messing with dive gear and love to
make my own/better than the factory stuff. I've heard several folks say they
know some one who makes their own reels and scooters, etc.  Does anyone
have any information on these?  I can easily make a reel frame, but can't make
a good spool.  Does anyone know where I can get a relatively inexpensive
spool that is suitable for salt water other than Dive Rite. Are there any
plans lying around for a spool, particularly one that has an automatic
tensioner device?  I've developed a crude mechanism to do that and help stop
tangling, but thought there should be something better.

Are the any scooter builders out there either?  I understand Popular Science
ran an article on making your own a while back...

Are there any scooters with twin, counter-rotating props on the market?

I'm also looking for algorithms for use with Nitrox and Trimix. I don't
know how long I'll have my connection to the net--it's free now and they're
cutting people off here. Please let me know where I can ftp from.

Also, does anyone know if there is an internet address for Rodale's so I
can flame 'em out?  Someone said that they got Rodale's with their DAN
membership.  Does this mean they are affiliated?
