I am a believer that no education is wasted, BUT, at some point your going to have to gain experience. With 21 dives your really not sure if you like your fins. Go diving, watch other divers, talk to the divers that you feel are better than you. Divers love to talk about diving. Ask about the gear they use, why they use it. Ask how they hang a three minute safety stop dead still. Tell someone you have tried to get trim but your feet must be heavy. How the hell did that guy just swim backwards? I feel liveaboards are the fastest way to gain experience. By the end of the week any new skills learned have been practiced and muscle memory formed. twenty dives in a week is way better than twenty over two years.
