 Help us in our little diveshop in the beautiful MazunteDescription
My name is Alejandro and I am from Mexico City. I always wanted to have my own little diving school and one year ago I came to Mazunte to open my dive school and shop. I am very happy here, because the life here is different and we can do what we really like. Every day when we go down we can find different sealife, new species and it is always an adventure. The coast of Oaxaca is still very virgin and for that there is a lot to see and to explore. The wildlife is very active here. We are also the only dive school in the whole region (zipolite, puerto angel, san agustinillo and mazunte).

We are looking for a person who loves the sea and its wildlife and who is openminded and likes working with people. You don't need any experience but it would be perfect if you are interested in diving or if you want to learn it.

If you have a divers license you can also help with the diving. We could also need a person who likes onlinemarketing and can help us to spread the word of our school. Languages spoken

Accommodation
I offer a private room with private bathroom and food. ( 2 meals a day). And there is the opportunity to earn commissions for selling our tours.
If you want to make a diving course with me I offer you a discount and you will have an exellent teacher. :) What else ...
Next to diving all kind of watersports are very popular here. There is surfing, bodyboarding, boogy boarding, snorkelling, fishing tours, kayaks etc. There is whale season from October to March and you can make a tour with a local fisher man for 200 pesos mexicanos (16$).

Home » Airfarewatchblog » New App Lets You Trade for a Better Airplane Seat New App Lets You Trade for a Better Airplane Seat rss link Airfarewatchblog New App Lets You Trade for a Better Airplane Seat Posted by Dara Continenza on Friday, August 22, 2014 (Photo: Thinkstock/iStock) Stuck with a middle seat? Want to sell a first-class upgrade? A new app can help. The startup app AirrTrade, which appears to have launched earlier this month and is still available via invite only, provides a marketplace through which flyers can trade, sell, or buy airplane seats. Users can search their flight via the app and find users who are willing to part with or bargain for a more desirable seat. Then, they simply purchase the seat they would like and pay the seller directly. The app is run by a third party, which means a) the airline isn't involved in seat swapping, and b) official boarding passes won't change. At security checkpoints, both flyers will show their original boarding passes; once on the airplane, the seller and buyer are free to swap seats themselves. Our take? AirrTrade could be a neat way to avoid paying for premium seat perks or getting stuck in an undesirable seat, turning the fees-for-all airline industry into something of a free market. However, like many other third-party apps that rely on consumer participation (such as FaceBelt, which served as an in-air matchmaking service), we imagine that downloads could be low and selection scarce. Often, we find that these apps have trouble taking off. We say, if you simply must have an exit row seat, you should just want to pay ahead of time for the privilege. But if you don't mind the gamble, AirrTrade could offer some bang for your buck.
