Interest in the natural environment and what I am learning in class. I believe that global warming is affecting the survival of underwater life to some extent. For this reason I thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of the opportunity to get my next scuba diving certificate and do a study of marine species and the survival of coral reefs.
