Ever listened to other divers discussing marine life that you've never even heard of. Not sure whether corals are plants or animals? Now is the time to brush up and improve your knowledge of the marine environment. Learn the difference between vertebrates, invertebrates and plants and determine which is which underwater. With your new knowledge you'll never be left out of the conversation again. Spotting the difference will soon become second nature!
