I think if you are dedicated and your aim to become a better scuba diver you need less then 100 dives.
I felt confident with around 30 dives. And most of my skills(buoyancy, trim, staying calm. .) were really good with around 50 to 80 dives.
Yes of course I had improvement since then, but much less then in my first 50 dives.
I know people with under 100 dives with technical training and an awesome skill set.
And I saw people with much more dives, still very bad.
You registered in SB and you ask questions how to improve. This gives me the impression, that you probably don't need 100 dives to become "competent".
Of course it depends on water experience and overall body control.
