Here's a picture of a Dacor Nautilus CVS:
We tried to sell these in the dive shop I used to work in "back in the day." They were a limited production run and if memory serves they were a spinoff of technology developed for the USN. The actual units looked MUCH better than the one pictured, they were all black and shiny and actually looked pretty COOL. They were, however, EXPENSIVE. I want to say $700+ in 1982 dollars.
The stuff you see in this photo is typical of the set-up. First, NO doubles, singles only. You're looking at the tank side. The diver side had straps. The inflator system is on the left (big hose). The dumps are on the top and bottom right. The "strap" and handle looking thing you see on the right is an emergency weight release system. The unit had "on board" lead, if memory serves it was lead shot.
The "concept" of what Dacor created was more a "constant buoyancy system" instead of a constant "volume" system. The unit was designed to keep you neutral after you "set" it at depth, kind of like a drysuit vent valve.
The reason why it failed as a product was because is was RIGID. Packing and flying with this thing just didn't work. Also, with all the moving parts, maintenance, especially for use in salt water, was expensive.
We only had and sold ONE.
