New start in Sao Miguel

Posted in Azores forum

Hello everyone,

my boyfriend and I are planing to move to Sao Miguel in March or April 2017.
Currently we live in Gozo, Malta, which is very laid back and relaxed, but we feel like we need a change. We have travelled a lot together as diving instructors but are looking to settle somewhere.

As mentioned we are both diving instructors, my boyfriend is a very handy man and now working as a carpenter. I am as well a Photographer (incl. Graphic&Webdesign and Video) and a massage therapist. Does anyone know how easy/difficult it is to find a job on Sao Miguel?
Is it possible to work as diving instructor as a foreigner or do the Dive Centres mainly employ locals?
Would it be still a good idea to open a bed and breakfast or is the island already saturated?

We do have a dog and will have to flight him in, he has a passport and all vaccination.
Is there a "quarantine" or anything to go through when bringing a pet to Azores?

I think that are enough questions for my first post here ;)
I am looking forward to your replies! Have a great day!
Julia
