Another go try in person. Also I don’t like side glass. It makes it hard to see under rocks into holes. A thin wetsuit and gloves will make it more enjoyable. Protection from fire coral , light scrapes , and jellyfish. It also will keep you from burning your complete backside. Burn the back of your knees and walking will be Hades ! Weight belt ! Just enough weight you barely float. Trying to dive down even a couple feet without a weight belt will wear you out quick and reduce your bottom time to nothing. Cheap fins and snorkel will do fine.
