They need that, because to conduct ship boarding and GOPLAT takedowns you've gotta have to climb those caving ladders, ropes and all that requires great upper body strength. NSG also has that because they do a lot of CQB and climb (with devices ofcourse) a lot of buildings. While Paras are more towards endurance. I have heard that NSG, SG and MARCOS have a similar obstacle course.

Basic photography?

It is a thing of the past
Using a camera of those days like Nikon FM, they'd covered everything from simple mug-shots, through long-range photography with telephoto and super-telephoto lenses, aerial photography from helicopters, infra-red and panoramic. They also learned how to develop and print their own pictures.

Jocko talks about that here at 1:37 onwards:

Also on MARCOS having tough physique, 80% of them are our Jat brothers. And they really are known for it

Because unlike the army which believes in ragda max pro + (ergo destructive pt routine that actively destroys your muscle mass and medical standards since before WWII) the Navy's regime is scientifically done with proper sports/combat dieticians monitoring everything that is given to them.

All of this is correct but the fact remains that Infantry is built for all round endurance - Naval Infantry for upper body strength which plays it's role not just in assault ships but in diving / swimming as well. This is the world over

Sirji, you have to admit that the Army's pt and medical standards need thorough overhaul.
