Your vids are amazing! I am so envious. We tried diving last week and I just couldn't get it. I just wasn't comfortable at all with it. I felt like I couldn't breathe underwater and kept panicking and getting mouthfuls of seawater.

How long have you been diving? Were you always comfortable with it and did it come naturally to you?
Also, I am assuming when you do a night dive that there are others with you? That just seems so scary to me. I was freaked out enough just during the day, and I could see everything around me!
I think the best way to get in to scuba is a Local Dive Shop instructor...they can take you through the course and you start by going to a confined pool dive...and they use good gear!!! If you were having trouble breathing it was probably the equipment....It should be very effortless to breath from a good regulator... Take your time and get a good instructor and you should do fine....
I have been diving for years....and after I was trained it was great...But the first pool dive was a little nerve racking...but once you get past that it is all good!!!
Don't give up on it...it will be worth it if you can get through the first bit of training!!!!
