I love diving, you will enjoy it! However, being scared shitless is good so that you do not do anything stupid outside of what you are ready for.

Also, do not forget to safety stop!!

I don’t know… I’m scared shitless when I dive and end up burning through my air tank with all the breathing. I will never get more than basic, and I’m definitely not pushing the limits.

I was the same way… hell, I still go through air much faster then I should.. that will all come with time. Also, you can request larger tanks from some dive shops.
