obviously you haven't understood this thread very well at all. There was no panic involved, ill say it again the low vis did not cause any issues what so ever. I expected low vis and went into it knowing about the low vis. what caused the issue is I had no bottom timer or depth gauge. so again, experience really wasn't a factor besides influencing my personal decision to dive with no timer or depth gauge, as the dive master and captain were reassuring me that I would not need either.
Your experience speaks for itself....I understand your tread perfectly, your trying to somehow defend your weak experience, and go out ILL equipped an with no buddy, and looks like your end result was a good experience for new divers, and instructors on what a text book shouldn't do.

Finally someone is applying a little knowledge to the topic lol... I used air faster than the 2 other people in my class during my OW certification dives. I think you are right, as of now I have no symptoms and I feel fine. Which leads me to believe there was no dcs involved.
also appears several instructors have chimed in and stated the same in less words..but you got all angry over your bad day in the water...

I made the decision to dive without a buddy. I was dragging a float behind me the whole time, a buddy is not necessarily required in the type of diving I was doing, although the dive master offered to buddy up with me, which in hindsight may have been a good decision. and yes I will at the least have a timer the next time I go.
