I heard the water was pretty cold and I will be diving there on March 21 and 22. Do I need a wetsuit? If so what thickness?

In March the weather can be quite warm... or quite cold... or anywhere in between. The water temp will be 68°F (20°C).I heard the water was pretty cold and I will be diving there on March 21 and 22. Do I need a wetsuit? If so what thickness?
Most divers I know use a 3mm or 5mm at Vortex, depending on their personal level of cold. You will want a hood or hooded vest to keep warm also - my hooded vest is the best investment I've made in gear.
Does that vest go over your main wetsuit? Is it like a shortie?
