"i’m worried i’m going to do something stupid and ruin it for everyone on the boat."
I really don’t have anything to add to the weight discussion - everyone here’s pretty much covered what you need to know. But if this is your first boat dive, you may want to check out the "ScubaSnobs Guide to Diving Etiquette" (http://scubasnobs.com/wordpress_2/?page23). While their books are a humorous look at diving, they actually contain quite a few gems about diving in general and how to behave on a boat in particular. As long as you remember the kernal of the rule, you’ll be in good shape.
And when all else fails, be up front about the fact that you’re a newbie and want to learn from others that are more experienced. Good hearted enthusiasm will often trump lack of knowledge!
Have a great time! The diving should be awesome!
