What you guys are calling a giant hawkfish is actually a pretty common sight while diving in the PV area. In fact I can't remember not seeing them in all the dives I've done in that area. A few years ago we were spear fishing and I think we ate one. The locals always just call them small groupers however they have some interesting titles for a lot of things.

They could be porkfish I don't know, when it comes to fish names I'm no expert. There were baby fish everywhere so I'm sure I saw just about every kind of fish they have in the bay and didn't know it.

Thanks very much. I apologize to the person who originally corrected me for sounding sarcastic. Great info thanks for the link.
