Been diving on and off for over 20 years with 45 logged dives. Even got NITROX certified for working on research dives. Padi certified. Tips - get a nice mask and fins (and BCD) to start with. This is something I regret as I spent more buying better sets. Other tip - relax and breath normally. It's hard to do sometimes, but make a conscience effort so your air (and experience) lasts longer. Go for it. It's a truly unique experience.
