Cygal,
There is absolutely no excuse for your own
lack of competency during this dive.
If you felt, that you needed to learn more about
diving, a 100 ft dive is the wrong place to
learn. As soon as you knew the nature of the dive,
you should've called it.
As soon as you experienced buoyancy problems, you
should've done the same. You had one more
opportunity to do so, at the entrance of the cave.
I think, that your low comfort level, made you
follow the Divemaster and trust his judgement,
instead of trusting yours.
Which brings me to the initial question, why
did you do the dive in first place.
You were not qualified for it and only you
knew that.
