I have been trying to figure out the same. I am heading down to Tulum to do cave diving in the fall ... what is the water temperature in MX? I imagine it is higher than the 70-72F that we get in the FL caves
In general, you can count on the caves in the Bahamas being a couple degrees warmer than Florida and the Yucatan being a couple degrees warmer than the Bahamas.
 
Active mexican cave diving instructor plus giant crybaby about thermal discomfort here.

What I wear for my ~500 dives/year here:

All Fourth Element
xerotherm socks
xerotherm bottom
drybase top
xerotherm top
that fuzzy vest I can't remember the name of

That translates to probably 150g give or take all over and about 200g at the core.

The Arctics are too warm for me. Distractingly, uncomfortably hot under the halocline.
 
Fourth Element just released a new version of it's Xerotherm line which seem like it might be up to the task. Not sure if anyone has had the opportunity to try them out yet.
