The DIR (Doing It Right) configuration is a standardized approach to scuba diving equipment developed to improve safety, efficiency, and control underwater.
Based on simplicity, redundancy, and standardization, the DIR philosophy is now widely used in technical, exploration, and advanced diving around the world.
In this MOMODIVE blog section we explore DIR configurations, technical setups, and scuba diving equipment including BCD systems, backplates, wings, regulators, hose routing, lighting systems, and accessories.
Every configuration choice is explained not only from a practical perspective, but also from an operational and safety standpoint.

Why Standardization Matters
A standardized configuration improves communication, emergency management, and equipment control underwater.
When every component is always in the same position, divers reduce stress, unnecessary movements, and the possibility of mistakes.
The DIR philosophy was developed around this exact principle: creating a simple, efficient, and reliable system in every condition.
