DirDirect

From backmount to sidemount, single tank to twinset — DirDirect has been the home of DIR diving for 25 years, rooted in ethos and defined by distinction.

DirDirect, operated by Underwater Explorers and based in Portland, Dorset, is a specialist online and retail showroom for DIR (Do It Right) scuba diving equipment. The business stocks an extensive range of backmount and sidemount systems, wings/BCDs, long-hose regulator sets, premium drysuits, heating systems, dive computers, and lighting from leading brands including Halcyon, XDeep, SANTI, Shearwater, OrcaTorch, Apeks, Scubapro, and Agir. The store has been trading for 25 years and ships worldwide, with free UK mainland delivery on orders over £50 and capped maximum shipping rates for international customers. The Portland showroom acts as the UK SANTI test centre and showroom — where customers can try on and test SANTI drysuits before purchasing — and also operates as an authorised Shearwater Demo Centre. DirDirect positions itself as the UK's leading OrcaTorch stockist and showroom and carries the full FlexDive modular light series alongside a broad selection of technical diving accessories including twinset cylinders, stage regulators, sidemount valves, reels, SMBs, and camera systems. The store offers a price-match policy against UK mainland authorised dealers, a 30-day returns window, and curated DIR starter packages that combine wings and long-hose regulator sets from brands such as Halcyon, XDeep, and Apeks. A regularly updated weblog covers gear comparisons and product reviews aimed at technical and recreational divers alike.
