Re:Variable ballast
The rope and pulleys was my first design but I ran into problems that weren't so easily solved... I wanted the rope to go through some kind of a one way guide so I could still use a spool for the rope. That way it would work good for any depth. Finding the right setup to let the rope go freely one direction and then being able to lock the wieghts on to pull the rope the other direction was a stumbling block. Plus, I wanted a little resistance on the diver rope so that you wouldn't get a "fishing reel backlash" effect... if that would be an issue, I don't know.
