Meet Mr. Jojit Sescon Gorduiz, a former seafarer who rose to the rank of Second Mate before turning his lifelong passion for teaching into reality. For more than six years, he has been guiding aspiring divers — combining his maritime background with his expertise as a CMAS 3 Star Instructor (Course Director).

His teaching goes beyond skills and equipment. Jojit emphasizes safety, confidence, and respect for the ocean, helping beginners overcome fear while inspiring them to appreciate the underwater world. He believes scuba diving is not only a sport but also a way to promote tourism, protect marine life, and strengthen community stewardship.

Mr. Jojit Sescon Gorduiz conveys his heartfelt gratitude to the 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐲𝐭𝐞 for funding the 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐚 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 — specifically the 𝐂𝐌𝐀𝐒 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 — through the 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐲𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦, 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 (𝐒𝐋𝐓𝐈𝐏𝐂), in partnership with various LGUs. These initiatives, coordinated with the 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟é𝐝é𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭é𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬 (𝐂𝐌𝐀𝐒), have provided local divers not only with essential skills but also with the guidance to become responsible stewards of the sea.

Currently, he is the only 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐌𝐀𝐒 𝟑 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 (𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫) based in Malitbog, Southern Leyte, a role that carries both responsibility and honor. As he often says, “𝑰𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒂 𝒅𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓 — 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒂𝒏.”

He encourages everyone to explore the ocean not only as adventurers but also as caretakers of our marine environment. His advice to beginners remains simple yet powerful: “𝑬𝒏𝒋𝒐𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆.

Finally, Southern Leyte has taken a bold step forward as the first province in Eastern Visayas to establish and activate its very own 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭 (𝐓𝐏𝐔), popularly known as 𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐂𝐎𝐏.
