Another vote for renting with a possible purchase of a wetsuit....it could also be used for snorkeling if not diving. A 3mm is a good place to start for COZ, however, keep in mind that the amount of thermal protection needed is a very personal choice. If this is something you would consider then the next step is to decide what type of wetsuit....neoprene->can be cheaper/may last longer, stretch or special weave->perhaps a more expensive but more comfortable....regardless of what you decide, when you are ready to commit to purchasing your own equipment, take it slowly. This advice especially applies to your BCD and Reg. Very often our LDS will allow you to try before you buy. Shop and compare and you will find the perfect fit. Have a wonderful time in Cozumel !!

Oh, PS....don't forget the tiny "Sink the Stink" packets. A good wetsuit/bootie soak perhaps midway in your dive schedule is a great idea...makes you and everyone around you happy Although, if everyone is stinky, then who cares, right? At least that is what my two Eagle Scout son's would say after a long trek and believe me, they know stink...:amazed:
