What're people wearing this time of year? I'll be diving when I'm there next week via a cruise ship. Whats the bottom temp?
 
I wouldn't take anything less than a 7mm full suit.
 
Diving the Exumas on Blackbeards out of Nassau late Feb into Mar of '22 water temps were 81⁰F max at surface and 75⁰F min (most closer to 77-78⁰) at depth (as deep as 114').

16 dives over 5 days.

I was wearing a Waterproof W3 3.5mm fullsuit (good suit with seals) and was comfortable. I sometimes used a light LavaCore hood.

YMMV.
 
As an update, I dove twice, bottom temp 76 degrees and wore a rash guard only. I was fine, little bit chilly between dives. about 50/50 people wearing a wetsuit or not on the boat
