This sounds almost to the tee my first dive as a certified diver, but mine was a night dive. It was really stressful! But, like you, I loved diving and despite all my gut instincts I just went along with it.
Best advice: Shop around. I still do this to this day even though I am an instructor with lots of dives. Before I arrive, I will send a couple emails and get a feel for the type of diving the company does. If they don't write back or are vague, it's a pretty good indication that they will not be attentive, fun, safe, during the dives.
Even better, when I get there I walk around and talk to each shop. Whichever one I like the vibe of, I go with them....and then I like to write lots of rave reviews about it!
Feel free to message me directly if you would like any recommendations on great dive shops around the world
