@Lorenzoid the temps for your Red Sea would equal 5MM for me and even the Florida dives if on the higher end of the temp range you mention. The surface interval conditions also matters as to how much body warmth you can recoup.
Regardless, my point to the OP or other readers was that everyone's input is accurate for them, but there isn't one right answer for thermal protection and to consider temperature data in evaluating the input as people's temperature tolerance can be different.
Just like someone from Alaska might not think it's cold outside, I came from New York to California in November. The locals were already cold and hating the breeze while I was in a Tshirt and loving the cool non-humid weather.
Separately, I was thinking wow, snorkeling in a 7MM suit must require a significant weight belt to get neutral.
