Hey there! I love to see people get into the hobby!

First and foremost, fuck you for living where the water is warm. I would be in the water in Florida 365 days a year. It gets damn cold up here in MA - even in the summer I use a wetsuit most days (at least a half one).

Since you have diving experience, there's not much point in talking about that. Are you snorkeling or scuba diving? I really suggest snorkeling, it's much easier/more or less no prep to get into the water.

I would highly, HIGHLY recommend a boat of some sort. I have a $160 8' ocean kayak. Got it at an army/navy store and I don't understand how I went out without it. Easy enough to get on/off of while in water over my head and it's amazing how nice it is to have a 'base of operations'. If you want more info/suggestions on setting up a kayak for spearing on a budget, I'll be happy to go into detail :D

I don't own a spear gun. I may buy one this year, depending on budget at the time, but I'm very happy with my polespear(s). First year I got into the hobby I was unemployed so I made my own spears, but after that I bought a JBL 5' spear - works great.

What do you have for a mask/flippers/snorkel? I use cheap snorkels ($20 or so), but I spend $50-60 on a mask every year or so. Not that a mask is only good for one year, but I usually don't store them properly over the winter. I highly suggest anti-fog. It's cheap and works well.

Also, you want to get a dive flag. I made my own, as to buy one from my local shop was $40. Used a red tshirt, white duct tape, a wooden dowel and zip ties. Total? $10.

Not sure about the fish in the area. Up here I can ALWAYS get flounder - they're everywhere. I would suggest speaking with the people at your local dive shop.

Also, crabs and lobsters. Delicious. The lobster permit is worth the $40 a year, even if you only get two of 'em.

I love my Seiko SKX007K. The rubber strap is super comfortable and the offset nob doesn't bang into the top of my hand when I'm working.

Bubbla blades are really nice. But crazy expensive. Victorinox will get you close to a bubble blade in quality at a fraction of the price. These knives are used in professional kitchens and have a really nice steel that holds and edge well. If money didnt matter I would get a bubba blade, if it did I would get one of these.

No blade will stay sharp without being honed/steeled so make sure you get something to do that before each use.

Mine didn't. Get a JBL shock cord. They come integrated with dyneema line or as stand alone.

Here's the integrated, works beautifully:

Having thrashed many pairs of gloves i would highly recommend Cressi Tropical gloves

This if he dives average temps, otherwise this is a must no matter what. You can do a search for any kevlar dive gloves though...
