The Bitonga Divers is an NGO championed by Mozambique’s first dive professional, the inspiring Carlos Macuacua, based in Tofo, a town in Inhambane province.

In 2006, when Bitonga Divers was formed, there were no Moçambican divemasters or instructors. Since that time, in partnership with Ocean Revolution and foreign owned dive centers,  Bitonga Divers now has trained eight Mozambican Instructors and 11 divemasters.

The Bitonga Divers also invest in outreach to communities, showing megafauna and underwater scenes to people living near the coast, many of whom have never been underwater or seen these animals alive. Through this kind of outreach, people begin to make positive links between protecting sea life, tourism and economic development.

Harriet Ann Jacobs was a slave who published “Incidents in the Life of A Slave Girl”, in 1861 under the pseudonym Linda Brent. The book chronicles the hardships and sexual abuse she experienced as a female growing up in slavery. Jacobs fled slavery in 1835 by hiding in a crawlspace in her grandmother’s attic for nearly seven years before traveling to Philadelphia by boat, and eventually to New York.
