Scott, your first fish is a juvenile Mexican Hogfish (Bodianus diplotaenia). p 58
The second is a Leopard Grouper (Mycteroperca rosacea). p.30

BTW, that must have been quite a trip! I want to go to that little area you found all of the nudi's. Sounds fun! Glad you got your dives in before it started to rain, though I don't know how much precipitation some of those arid Mexican regions get. Beautiful scenery and colors in some of those Above water picts.
