Well, I will give you pros and cons.

If you are fascinated by the topic of marine Biology, then by all means do what you love. It is an incredible field of exponentially increasing importance in the scientific community. You get to dive a fair bit, spend time with animals, and you get to spend some quality time in the drink. The pay is currently $50k per year on average IF you get into a good position.

As for cons, you are not always going to be on the water. There is a lot of time that you will spend reading and writing research papers with your colleagues and running experiments like any other scientist. If you are an independent marine biologist, then your pay will be too miniscule to live off of unless you have made a name for yourself in your field. My friend down in Fiji cleans the undersides of boats in his downtime to make the money for his living and experiments.
