Photo for identification

Can anyone identify this arm of the services? My uncle is in the photograph and I am sure that he served at sea. He would have enlisted in Warwickshire.Norman Higginson (2nd. rt. bottom row).jpg
 
The fella with the lifebouy looks like a (veteran) Marine, Bee. The lads standing with him wear no insignia so I'd say the photo was taken while they were in training
 
Nice photograph, yes they look like Royal Marines. The photograph may have been taken at the RN Gunnery School which was on Whale Island in Portsmouth Harbour.
