Great advice already posted!
FYI, I finished my last dive for my NAUI certification yesterday at Dutch Springs (Bethlehem, PA). The computer said the water temp was 61 deg but the 7 mil Farmer John, gloves, hood and boots kept me quite comfy. I would only add this to the list of stuff to do to prep for the dive; when you get into the water put your face in the water before you put on your mask and dive. This will get the shock of the cold water hitting your face out of the way, particularly since you'll be doing mask floods/clearing skills once you get down.
Enjoy! Its a blast!!!
