Gosh, that's terrifying. One common newbie mistake is inflating your BCD too much while trying to rise to safety stop level and missing it entirely -- done it myself. Glad you were okay in the end!
Yeah, I think that was probably the cause of my issue—that it all happened so quickly was what freaked me out the most I think.

Sorry Mum!
As a fellow diver, reading this made my hands sweat!
My flippers were too tight on my first snorkel in Greece 45 years ago. Never put on a pair since
