I'd call it a Mutton Snapper, black spot

And bringing the tail end of ID tips.................
See those reddish fin tips?,, on the dog they are way more yellowish.
Muttons are everywhere and you can bring them closer by sticking your finger in the sand and stirring it up. Dogs are really skittish and will run away and hide from divers (but they'll play Peek-a-boo with you on wrecks)

Another good distinguishing feature is the white tear drop - on the dog.
