1. You have to keep your posture, just like you would keep it at the surface. Do not allow your self to become a jelly. In vertical position, your legs should be heavier because they are deeper, tense your leg muscles enough and control your posture.
2. Breathing out means, fully deflating your lungs for 30 seconds
3. Do not inhale until you descent to 10-15 feet, if you must, you breath in but back out immediately, this way you will continue being negatively buoyant
4. After you manage first few feet, your suit will compress, you will be heavy enough
5. Slowly transition from vertical to horizontal, without kicking, if you kick even slightly vertical, you will go back to point one. Transition should be done with posture control.
#2 and #3 in your reply were very useful to me on my dive yesterday! Thank you. Descent was fine!
