Whats the youngest age to be a certified diver?

I'm not the most qualified person to answer, but since no one else has I checked my agency's (NAUI) website and they state that 10 years old is the minimum age to get a junior scuba certification card. Fifteen is the minimum for a standard certification.

I think that it is great that you are interested in doing marine biology. I minored in natural biology at North Greenville University in SC. My mother in law volunteers with the Soth Carolina state aquarium and I know that they were looking for experienced diver to intern with them for habitat research a dew weeks ago. I am sure that they would be doing something like that again when you are ready to dive in. Best of luck in your endevors.

You might want to check out the Planetary Coral Reef Foundation - they have an ongoing (something like 14 years now) at-sea research project, and I know they do have some sort of on-board educational program, I think 9 month stints on the research vessel. And they are super nice people.
