The only way you'll become experienced divers is to dive. Go slow, breathe, breathe, breathe. You'll make mistakes with equipment so do buddy checks. The one piece of advice I'll give is to not push yourself over your limits. If you're tired, you're tired. Don't try to be macho. As the saying goes, there are old divers and there are bold divers but there are no old bold divers.
I'm 68, been diving for 35 years and I still have things to learn. Good divers do. Good divers will understand and help you. Good divers will want you to be comfortable and enjoy the sport. Frankly, I'd rather dive with a new diver who wants to get better than "experienced" divers who think they know everything.
