What was the problem equalising? Did you hold your nose and 'blow' on the way down?
In terms of places to go around Swansea - try Langland bay on a calm day, I've seen beautiful viz there in the past. There are bound to be fish about.
Shame your first time out was bad, mine was terrible, ~1 foot viz, rain, wind, angry seals AND when I got out, someone had nicked the stuff I'd left on the rocks. It gets better, trust me rofl

Yeah I was descending, holding my nose and pushing (ya know) and i just couldnt seem to get the pain away at all. also, im wearing 10k worth of weight with a 7mm wetsuit and still struggling to get down. at around 5m, i find im still rapidly floating to the top, is this normal?
The shallower you are, the more buoyant you are. As soon as you go deep, you'll sink like a stone.
I was diving shallow (3m) around some rocks over the weekend and was struggling to stay down, I had 9kg and a 5mm suit - as soon as I was out deep ~10m+ it was easy.
If you're diving shallow, just add a couple of kg to your belt / vest
As for equalising, I'm not sure what the problem was...maybe just practice?
