Hey man, saw your post on living in sarasota looking for people to go spearing with. I'm pretty much at your level....i'm 26, live in Port Charlotte, have all the gear short of a boat. I've speared point of rocks a few times and a few trips in Jax when i lived there. If you're ever looking for a buddy to go out spearing with just give me a heads up. I'm always game. I just have a pole spear for now, no sense in getting crazy quite yet!
