Ok here is an update to my update. Maybe it will be of use to someone.

>Day 1: Invested 750plat into tinkering and got to 75 skill
>Day 2: Invested another 750plat and got to 85 skill.
>Day 3: Invested 1400plat and got my skill to 102.
>Day 3: Invested 1000plat in aqualungs, 4 attempts, 2 successes.
Day 4: Invested (about) 1750plat in aqualungs. 7 attempts and 5 successes.
Gained 2 points of skill for a total of 104. Maybe its time to do some Ak
Akanon quests to improve my vendor faction. That could help to bring my
prices down a bit.
I was able to make so many attmpts because I had a level 45 enchanter buff
the heck out of my Charisma, Intiligence, and Wisdom. I had 191 Int, 100
wis, and 105 cha during all 7 of these attempts. Normally I don't have
such good buffs in place.

I am still on the search for Diamond Dust information. However, untill
then I will be attempting to sell aqualungs to anyone I can find that will
buy them. Unfortunately whenever I make an auction I get about a half
dozen interested persons asking about rebreathers. Which I haven't
attempted yet but seriously doubt that I can make. Most of the people that
get interested in the aqualung, are turned off when they hear that its the
charged version. That or the fact that it WON'T fit in a back pack. But,
It will fit in a large tailoring kit. I happen to be fortunate enough to
have a box of abu-kar, and it fits in there with its weight totally
eliminated. I haven't checked an evil eye bag, or any of the other weight
reduction containers except my archeologist pack. It won't fit in the
archeologist pack.
So far I have sold 1 aqualung and I have 2 others that are interested.
