Identifying British coastal fish

Hello

I took my camera out diving yesterday in Browns Bay Tynemouth North East England.
I took some photos of crabs and fish, does anyone know of a site/resource/anything to help me identify the creatures I saw.

The Marine Conservation Society publish a good quality paperback with excellent photos of the most commonly encountered UK marine life. See ther web site. If it is out of print, you should easily be able to pick it up secondhand. The authors are Erwin and Picton.
I see you were photographing not so far from where I do most of my photography - if you haven't tried it, I suggest you visit St. Abbs. Great marine life and often decent viz. Most of the pics on my web site were taken there.
