as a new guy myself, i would recommend a pole spear. For starters they take a whole two seconds to reload and you shouldnt be hunting big fish that would require a spear yet. Ive also been heeded by experienced spearfishermen not to be exploring caves and big holes too much as it can warrant trouble.
I dont know where your from, but in california, all you need is a State fishing license. its 41 or 42 bucks. Also, i HIGHLY RECOMMEND a knowlege of your states fish and game laws. As said by another post, you will look really stupid if you bring up something too small or protected. Not to mention the fines are pretty hefty and you better believe any other diver in the water is an undercover F&G Warden. You need to know sizes of fish, bag limits, location of your license, (may need to be on your person) and whether you can fish at certain locations...i.e. State Marine Reserve vs. a State Marine Reserve Conservatory. Catch my drift? Good luck and happy hunting.
