When I started diving (also did my OW certs in Key Largo) I had the same concerns - way to much to think about during the descent. Then I remembered my flight training. On the very first landing (done by the instructor of course), I was told to expect a number of things to happen - unfortunately, they all seem to happen at once! As I got better, time seemed to "dilate", and the various tasks "spread out" and became recognizable as separate events. Same thing happens in diving. Expect that various tasks will all seem to blur together at first, but will separate later. Like everyone else said - just relax and follow your instructors instructions.
