A lot of people have already given you medical tips and stuff so I won't get into that.
I am however a person with an anxiety disorder so I can provide my two cents on that matter. It is important that you get professional help. Anxiety is extremely treatable but it takes some work. I would recommend you talk to a licensed therapist specialized in anxiety, they will be able to help you break the mental patterns that cause your anxiety.
All this of course depends on how severe your anxiety is but even for a 'mild case', therapy can really help. People with anxiety also tend to develop avoidant behaviors that get more difficult to break the longer they drag on so if it really starts affecting things you like doing (diving or anything else in life) don't wait. On top of the 'avoidant behaviors', anxiety can also cause a wide range of physical symptoms which can then in turn create more anxiety.
I found cognitive behavioral therapy combined with exposure therapy extremely helpful to (mostly) get over my anxiety.
Good luck and feel free to DM me if you have any questions or concerns!
