The cenote tour dives are fairly short -- not more than about 45 minutes. I was fine in a 3 mil suit. A 5 mil should be fine, as I tend to be someone who gets cold VERY easily. If you chill easily, bring a hood.
Should you decide to bring your dry suit, I found a layer of drybase and a set of Polarfleece sweats was almost overkill for 60 to 75 minutes, so you'd probably be fine in just a base layer. (My buddy did Cave 1 in his shorts and T shirt. I don't know how he could stand the drysuit against his skin!)

We did two dives without leaving the water one day--they just changed out our tanks from the edge of the basin. I was cool by the end in a 5mm Pinnacle, although I'm fairly thin. When I go back I'll probably take a hooded vest to add in the cenotes. The ocean was like bathwater by comparison in mid-October.

I checked last night, and my full length suit is actually only 3mil, not 5mil. Hmmm... not sure what to do now.
I don't tend to be a "cold" person (comes with diving in icy cold water normally!), so I very well may be okay even with just a 3mil.
I think what I'll do is bring both my wetsuit and drysuit and figure out when I'm there which I would prefer.
Thanks for all your help everybody!
