Software wise, Subsurface is a fantastic open source dive logger. It runs on mobile and Mac/Windows. Both sync to the cloud so you can access the same data on either. You can also use it to publish your logbook to https://www.divelogs.de/.
For books, at least for the west coast, I'd highly recommend:
Coastal Fish Identification: California to Alaska (the same author has published excellent guides for other regions as well)
A Guide to the Rockfishes, Thornyheads, and Scorpionfishes of the Northeast Pacific (Milton Love's other fish books are also well worthwhile, and downright hilarious. He's a marine biologist at UC Santa Barbara, and if you ever get a chance to hear him talk, don't miss out.)
Yup, this is a Plainfin Midshipman. They're pretty neat little critters.
Don't shoot things you can't positively ID. I'd suggest picking up a book like this and going over it until you can ID most of what you see on a normal day out.
