Sprozman, go for a drysuit
As you've gathered allready its not simply a case of getting it and going diving. You gotta learn how to drive the thing, its no big deal. A few pool sessions getting used to their little querks, then a few sessions in sheltered shallow open water, it does take a little time to get confident with things.
I agree with Noel, you don't necessarily need a course to safely learn the skills, a Competant instructor or experienced buddy will suffice. Route as outlined pay with PADI or join your local BSAC or SAA Branch.
Other golden rule get a "decent" undersuit.
