Just got back the 19 July. I. am a small female. I have a lavacore which I think is about a 1 to 1.5. I also have a vest. Started with both and dropped the vest.It was fine for me on the boat the Naiai for 10 days with just the one. it was about 80 to 82 degrees. my husband dove as usual in just a lycra skin. I think it was mostly 3 mil by the others. I think 5 will be too hot Depending on your comfort level.

We were in Raja a few years ago at Xmas and I used my 3 mil and my skins depending on temp.

We are going to do Ambon to Saumlakj in October.I Will try to post when we get back.
Just fyi, I also bought the Bare wet suit because I lost weight and my wet suits are too big! There were a few of the Bare on the boat. everyone loves it.
Am going to a dive sale tomorrow to get a BCD.
