I have a spearfishing fishing trip coming up in November out of the Jacksonville area. I shouldn't be going deeper than 100 feet. I normally dive the North Florida springs in a shirt and some board shorts for approximately 45 minutes before getting cold. I have a 5mil wetsuit and when I dive it in the springs it is way too hot and I get uncomfortable very fast. What size wetsuit would be best? I can get a MAKO 2 mill reversible wetsuit with hood for about 200 or I can pick up a 1.5 mil rash guard for a lot less. I am hoping to make this spear fishing at least every other month.
Any input would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance.

Water in 100' will be around 70s.Likely to be 80 degree daytime temps on the boat.I dive 2 to 3 mm almost year round now but I dive further out.
