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. Linky: http://www.amazon.com/JBL-meter-Fixed-Spear-without/dp/B0000DYTO9/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1330808956&sr=8-4
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.
I'm in South Florida, near Lauderdale. Here it's an 8 month season from August 6 through March 31. Regs here are 6 per person per day, except mini season (the last consecutive Wednesday and Thursday in July) which lets you get up to 12 per person per day for those two days....unless you're in Monroe County or Biscayne National Park and then it's till 6 per person per day there too.
The Current FWC Rules:
Recreational trapping prohibited
As for catching them, I generally use the green lobster snare....works better than anything I've used before and it locks in place when you pull it tight so it's easy to grab the lobster without having it escape.
Cooking them....I like grilling them up the best; the leftovers are amazing chopped up and used in pasta.
I am a big fan of Mako for wetsuits. Yamamoto neoprene and at amazing prices. They are also very responsive with their customer service.
I am currently rocking a Pyle Snorkel watch. They're only about $90, but let you know the water depth, dive time, temperature, date of dive, and temp of dive. You can't hook it up to your computer and it doesn't graph your depth during the dive, but for $90 it is pretty sweet.
As for the Malco dive knife that was mentioned, I wouldn't spend my money on it. Way too big and bulky, and not carried by home depot. If you're going to be spending $10, this knife isn't too bad. I currently use this one since the tip if quite a bit finer and it's really easy to brain a fish.
If you are doing any shore diving that requires surface swimming, these fins are a hell of a deal.
The best stringer in the sport
little more expensive but This is a pretty good thing to have if the person is really into spearfishing
Sounds like it would do the trick. I just bought a 1/2 in band and it's super strong, I actually use a slightly lighter one on the day to day.
Most normal lights are designed for 6 feet max so might as well go straight to the real dive lights in that case.
Dive-rated isn't my strongest area but the best one under $50 that I'm aware of is the $40 Princeton Tec League 100. It is rated for 100 meters depth.
Yup, this is a Plainfin Midshipman. They're pretty neat little critters.
Don't shoot things you can't positively ID. I'd suggest picking up a book like this and going over it until you can ID most of what you see on a normal day out.
Also a Floridian and my favorite method is using one of the green snares like this: https://www.amazon.com/JCS-Lobster-Stainless-Stranded-Lanyard/dp/B009QP36J2/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=lobster+snare&qid=1565880172&s=gateway&sr=8-7
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.

http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-47513-6-Inch-Boning-Fibrox/dp/B000QCNJ3C/
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:

I have this one and love it. Bring extra bands no matter what you get. https://www.amazon.com/JBL-Breakdown-Travel-Polespear-6/dp/B0000DYTOH
Having thrashed many pairs of gloves i would highly recommend Cressi Tropical gloves
I dive with these two right now:

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...
While this isn't recommended at all, I've been in the same situation. What pound mono are you trying to crimp? Also what style of gun do you have it on and what kind of fish are you planning on shooting?
Tip: don't make the loop tiny. You should be able to fit you pinky through the loop after you are done crimping.
Also, a set of crimpers can be found for ~$25 on Amazon or online tackle shop. Don't lose the fish of a lifetime because you skimped out on $25.
