Lots of info but I think most of it beyond where the OP is at this point. I'll add these:
- Situational awareness and the practice/training to be more aware will serve you well and now is a good time for you to work on this. No good to clear your mask and find yourself deeper than target depth for any dive just to name one example.
- Spend some time learning the ins and outs of your computer if you are going to use it. You should know what it is telling you at all times. You should know what to expect next from it and if you don't you either don't know the computer well yet or you failed on the first point (SA).
- Even when you understand the computer it is not a good idea to fly it so close to the edge at your level. Once you better understand how it functions and "where exactly you are" in a dive, you can push it a little and have the knowledge to make good decisions when the info doesn't jive or you step over the line.
Have fun and keep learning.
