Thumbs down diving advice on how to just stay calm?

I recently started scuba diving and have completed 3 dives. I need to complete my 4th to get certified. The last trip was a 2 tank dive but I did not go down the second time because I got really dizzy down at the bottom (we were 60 feet down), I found out I was diving with an ear infection. I get VERY nervous also before entering the water. Would you have any advice on how to just stay calm? I also made a HUGE mistake on my very first dive an inflated my BC and shot for the surface, I didnt mean to I just hit the wrong button. They had to save me...its these things that make me nervous. My 5th dive is going to be 90 feet down in the middle of the ocean...this scares me. But I want to do it...any advice you can give on not getting nervous and maybe also how to advoid seasickness would be WONDERFUL! Thank you very much!
