It's not often you come across a cool piece of gear that hasn't been used so I had to scoop this up. Though I have several already, and one that's dive ready, I couldn't resist. Notice the un-bent metal tank band and the plain brown wrapper that Dacor gave her? It's probably due to the fact that these weren't meant to be sold over the counter. You needed to take the special training course though several folks who use them now probably never went through an official course. I know I didn't. I'll post a couple photos but here is the link to more: photos.app.goo.gl/L9tgsWknNHVq3ddz8photos.app.goo.gl/pThCrPBU6qMNgbux6photos.app.goo.gl/keN2suWzvPhxFEX78For some reason I can't seem to imbed photos into the post. I've been away so long that I guess I need to relearn this stuff. Anyway, the LP inflator and hose in one of the pics was from the same seller. It's for a Dacor horse collar that I have been looking for a hose for for some time. I think I'll be sporting my Dacor gear a little more this summer.

Wow! What a find. No tanks or regulator seem to be a part of this. Is this the pack/flotation/weight system only?
I'm ignorant about these units, so please correct if I'm mistaken. But, keep us informed. We'd love to see it in the water!

The Nautilus doesn't come with a regulator. And the tank fits in the channel and held in place with a metal band which is still in plastic. I'll see if I have a pic of one of my other ones. I do have a YT video of me using it a few years ago. Helped me do a little cleaning in the harbor. youtu.be/DnGWJmC7zoc

Don,
I cannot believe I didn’t see this thread when you posted it. Wow, you found two different bicycles. From what I could see, you had people topside ready to take the first bicycle. Were they hoping you would find it, or was that coincidence? Did you finally use the Nautilus’ lift capability to get that second one up?
The Nautilus CVS is quite a neat system. As you know, I have two and have made some videos too of mine. Here’s one which is somewhat instructive of the functioning of the Nautilus CVS (Constant Volume System).
