Thanks, all, for the votes.
I guess some of you may've over-estimated the complexity of my question
Really, I wanted to know at what stage you'd be able to start every dive feeling excited, as opposed to nervous ("am I gonna make it back safely?" "am I gonna mess something up today?", etc )
I was always excited and the nervousness lessened around the 30-40 dive mark. The Rescue course opened my eyes a bit and Solo really aided in planning. I'm still excited and mainly diving solo now; I find I plan in way more detail so I have less apprehension while knowing I still have tons to learn or improve on. For the diving I currently do, I consider myself competent however I still have a lot of growth ahead of me.
