A lot of new divers feel very bashful about asking to dive with more experienced people. They fear that they're clumsy, or they'll blow through their gas, or otherwise lessen the experience of the dive for their buddy.
One thing they don't know is that diving with new divers is its own genuine pleasure. There is nothing like the enthusiasm of a new diver -- EVERYTHING is exciting and novel and memorable, even the things you've seen a thousand times. A new diver is almost never disappointed in a dive (in themselves, maybe, but not in the dive itself!) When you've forgotten how exciting all the common creatures were when you were new, having your buddy say, "Did you see all those purple STARFISH?" brings the joy back.
Not everyone likes to dive with new divers, but some of us definitely do. For sure, go to your local forum and post your history and your availability and the fact that you are looking for some mentoring, and I'm quite sure (especially since I know where you got certified) that you will get some positive answers.
