Oh my, a ton of posts.
You talk about maneuvering and having issues with it. That might be your fins. Some fins really are not conducive for anything but going fast. The Scubapro Nuevo wings are really easy to use. They give good power. They are really good for maneuvering and for backing up. My wife uses them. I use force fins which take some getting used to using but are extremely good. Force fins are not widely available. It might be good to try a number of different fins in the pool and see what works.
It is OK to grab something that is inert (not living) and not something breakable. Even putting a single finger down can make a difference. The thing is to do it carefully and selectively.
