All the skills are important!!!! That is why they are taught in O/W class.
No one skill is more important then the other. Find out what skills you are
comftorable with and work on the ones that you feel uneasy about.
It is not okay for anyone to suggest a person should concentrate on one more
then the other. Especially when you are generalizing on a forum like this.
As everyone knows, we are all different. Then again we have to look at the
individual and his/her needs and wants. Then we can only suggest what
they need to work on. We are all individuals with very different needs.
But it seem to me that the one most important thing (IMHO) is:
SAFETY The second thing is SAFETY. The third thing is go back
to the First thing.

I'm going to break with the majority.
IMHO the best skill(s) a new diver (like myself) can have is
1) Awareness of his limits
2) The discipline to not exceed them even when tempted
3) The ability to honestly analyze each dive, identify his deficiencies and work to improve them.
The first two will keep him safe. Especially while his learning curve is the steepest.
The third will allow him to improve his skills to the best of his ability.
