I don't know from whom you have taken your training so far, and I know you have access to some very good people, and it sounds as though you have gotten some mentoring. But in no way and to no degree does MSD serve as a learner's permit for technical diving. A technical certification serves as a learner's permit for technical diving. Now, perhaps you have done your open water classes with people who really required and modeled good buoyancy and trim, a battery of propulsion techniques, and stability under task-loading, and perhaps they even encouraged you to perform to those standards. But they are not permitted to task load you heavily, nor are they permitted to make technical-grade stability under task-loading a condition of certification. (We argue about this constantly, whether the instructor should be permitted to do it or not, but the fact is that with PADI, they are not.)
Do I think it's likely you and your daughter will come to serious grief, doing the kind of dive you describe having done? No, and especially not if you are doing these as shore-based divers out of Lobos. But you are seriously upping the ante on your diving by getting into what you are doing, and to be completely honest with you, I have yet to see ANY standard recreational instructor and class sequence that turns out people who are ready to do tech diving (especially without any training), not even ours, and we teach as tech-flavored a recreational curriculum as I think it is possible to do under the PADI system.
Be careful. Diving is easy when it goes well. What you need to know is that you have the skills and the knowledge to manage things when they don't.
Perhaps you have a different definition for a "learner's permit." I use it as defined in Learner's permit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - "a restricted license that is given to a person who is learning to drive, but has not yet satisfied the requirements to obtain a driver's license."
Which, in layman terms means now we're ready to learn. Which means taking additional training from very good people we have access to.
