I'm pretty new at this too...I would add that there are little things i do to get "in the right place" mentally.
*I like to get to the boat (or shore) super early so nothing is rushed and i know i am all set. And get the best seat in the boat... where is up to you... If you get seasick... sit where is best for you... wanna be first in... sit at the end.
*I also do a little visualization of all the normal stuff before i get in. Stupid stuff like ok, i'm gonna make sure my air is on...sit on the side of the boat (or am going to walk to the edge)-- put my hand on my reg and mask, make sure i have a little air in my BC... i literally go through going down... and thinking about good technique... i can go on and on... but bet you know what i mean... If you want me to write it all down PM me.
For me it works really well... i feel great when i hit the water. (sometimes i do this just for fun because i miss being in the water)
hope that helps!
