Hi,
I use to dive in Cabo Palos quite often. I will try to help you but I am not very sure about their names in English.
The fish on the first photo is locally called (in Spanish) "Abadejo" (Mycteroperca rubra). I think to be "Mottled Grouper in English.
The second one is called "cabrilla" or "vaquita" (serranus cabrilla). The trasladation I´ve got for English is "Comber".
The third one is called "Salpa" (Sarpa Salpa), in English "Saupe" according a book of mediterranean species I´ve got.
Sorry if the translations are not very accurate.

Thank you.

Don’t worry about the translations, I speak Spanish.
