OP here. Thank you all again for your posts! 
I would have appreciated my instructor first discussing with me that we'd be going over the wall (or at least having given me a heads-up) prior to our having entered the water on OW checkout dive #2. What I do truly appreciate are the range and variety of posts that echo many of the thoughts I had at the time.
Can't wait to get back in the water!!
