You are going into an environment that will kill you if you didn't have gear - of course it's normal to feel nervous.
Experience and the comfort that comes with it helps. I went into diving a very experienced swimming and experienced in using SCBA regulators on land and there was an adjustment period as I got into scuba.
Find a good buddy or guide who will take it at your speed until you feel more comfortable.
After hundreds of collective dives, my buddies and I still some times call a dive if things are just feeling off. It's part of a culture of safety.
