They're simple, yet effective, and I don't see people using them, so I thought I'd share it. If you already know about it, than props. If not, enjoy! They're in Izaw's "The Art Of Link", but they apply to Olimar as well.

7:45-Just press upb instead of z and it'll work.

4:50-I'm not sure if it works, but try it out with Olimar's upb

I remember hearing or reading about the downward DI+tether recovery somewhere before with Olimar. I don't see why It wouldn't work for him. One problem I have is that I usually DI up on horizontal attacks, maybe its just a habit, but if you don't get that quick tether off, being below the ledge with Olimar can be a problem sometimes. The other technique is great though.

The reason I don't use these is that is you mess up with Link, you will be hit upwards (usually) and then you simply recover...Olly it seems that you will lose a stock b/c of back luck. Plus, the up b sends you downward as your recover which means you don't get instant Inv frames like Link and TL does.
