Every chance I get. Just now getting good. Get a Cressi or Mares pneumatic, some good goggles, and decent fins. And grow a set of balls for the stumps 
ETA: better not be scared of alligators

Been doing it for about 20 years. Everything they told you that you need is accurate. For a first timer I would suggest you try cypress point first. That is just North of the mouth of blind river and lake Maurepas. Tons of stumps, water is not too deep and you can kill fish there almost anytime.

I would suggest to leave one person in the boat. First of all for safety. Secondly, they can get the fish off the spear and they move the boat as you dive. This makes it easier so you do not have to swim as far back to the boat. I have been with people that kill the fish and leave it on a stringer as they dive. I would not suggest this because it can get hung up and attract snakes and gators. Last piece of advice is to consider attaching a buoy or life jacket to your gun. You can use it to float on if you cramp up and also you can release your gun with a peace of mind when you shoot. Some guns do float after being shot but they are easier to find if they have a buoy or life jacket attached with a piece of string or rope.

A friend of mine shoots fish at the causeway. He snorkels the pilings. A boat pulls him with a sky rope to the pile and he goes down and comes up the other side,uses the sunlight to his advantage(to see the fish). If he gets a fish he hands the spear gun to someone on the boat and they give him a different gun ready to go, if not they pull him to the next piling.
