I thought they just wore uggs and thongs...... I'm right, right?

I was there in early May 2019.
The water out on the reef between Cairns and Ayr was about 24-25°C.
I was also diving around Sydney and the water then was 20-21°C
I used my drysuit for long dives in Sydney and a 3mm at the GBR. The 3mm was comfortable for me diving the reef. I noticed many of the more local divers wore 5mm. I'm a bit more used to cold water.

Welcome to Scuba Board! Enjoy Australia; never been. Are you going to do any topside touring? I imagine seeing salt-water crocodiles in the wild (from the safety of a boat, not while diving or swimming) would be sweet!

Thanks for your warm answers!
I'm going to stay 1 month in Australia, and mix scuba and land visits.
I will start in the South, in the Neptune Islands area to try and spot some great whites, so there I'll rent a 7mm.
After that I'll move North progressively and finish in Northern Queensland. As I'm pretty used to cold waters I think a 3mm could be enough on the GBR, but it looks like the locals prefer to use 5mm. Well, I still have some time to make my mind
