Education in diving medicine

[Rinoxus]

I am currently planning on being a dentist, but I have been wavering a little to go into medicine. Every time I dive I love it more and more. Now I've always heard of people doing good in the field that they love. So, I am wondering what options there might be with medicine/dentistry combined with SCUBA. This may sound a little wierd, but I was just curious if there are any specialties or something like that that deals with SCUBA. Any help would be great.

Don't know about dentistry, but the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Society is the medical equivalent that you're probably looking for.

The UHMS would be a very good start, indeed.
