1. Yes - but I would have my hand on the back of your tank until we got through the thermocline. I regularly DM for classes in our local lake. The first 20' this year has areas of 1-2 foot vis. This is what I do for students or with insta-dive buddies with limited experience. It's way too easy to get separated.
2. Yes - I wouldn't be depending on the DM except maybe to point out critters I might not see.
3. No - I have 2 reasons for this. 1-You have very little experience with dives greater than 60'. If I am there for fun and not working in a DM capacity, I would either want to dive with someone with similiar skills to mine. 2. I don't think you have the experience for this dive. This being said, as a Divecon (SSI DM and AI) I could be held liable in case of an accident in conditions that I really didn't feel that you were prepared for.
