I'm headed to the Bahamas in February when the water will be ~72 degrees F. I am bringing a 7mm hooded full suit because that is what I have. I froze on a dive in 68 degree water wearing a 2piece 3mm, so I think 3 mm might be a little thin.

Try this web site. I keep it in my "favorites" since I dive in Fla 4 or 5 times a year. It shows all the buoys that record marine conditions. We dive the West Palm area each Feb and I always use 6 mm and hood. Been cold down there lately. Last Fri water was 67 degrees. Warmed up to 70 this am. Typically 70 to 73 in Feb.
