You will have different buoyancy with the wetsuit on vs. the pool. And so you will wear a bit more weight. Your instructor will likely give you a "little" slack doing OW vs. in the pool. And nervous is more common than not.
Once you have completed your first dive, you "may" be a little more...
Don't worry if you don't get the "perfect" set up the first time. Use it for awhile and if you find something better use that. Our dive club had a bunch of recycled orange bags that we used. Just cheap mesh.
But I was using 3 mil gloves. Probably a lot colder where you're diving.
Passport in hand! Took 5 weeks. So if you don't want to pay the expedite fee of $60.00 for a U.S. passport you may take about this long to get yours. Just a heads up. :)
