I have two drysuits for diving down here. I hate being cold in the water, especially at night.
I would not dive dry in the summer - it's just too warm above and below the surface on the ocean.
One of the problems divers working in warm waters like the Red Sea is that you can't vent off excess heat so they get watched for internal temp buildup. Heatstroke above or below the water is not good.
You start having a strenuous dive in warm Florida waters in your drysuit, where's that heat building up in your carcass going? Here's a hint - it's probably not the surrounding water column.
Springs - now that's drysuit diving year round.
Good luck with this.
