Just a list? You can go to www.FishBase.org and, on the "Search FishBase" page under "Information by Country/Island," choose "Bahamas" from the pull-down menu and then check "Deep-water" in the first column. A list of deepwater fishes reported from the Bahamas, most of which are also found off southeast Florida, will pop up. To my knowledge there is no complete list of deepwater fishes from Florida, but many of the deepwater species are listed, described, and illustrated in publications including the "Peterson Field Guide to Atlantic Coast Fishes" (available in most bookstores) and the more complete "The Living Marine Resources of the Western Central Atlantic" (available from Amazon).
I wish him good luck, and he'll certainly need it! There are over 500 species of reef-associated fishes alone. Some species are so small that one would have to use "hair hooks" to catch them, and others so rare that they may not be encountered in a single lifetime.
