We just got back from PDC a week ago, and the water temps were in the low 80's. I (male, 5-11, 180#) dive a full Bare Velocity 3/2; and I was fine.
With regard to the Bull Shark dive, due to our prior experience with Bull Sharks off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, it was really a non-event. Off shore from PDC, you drop down to 75-80' onto a sand bottom, and wait. We saw six on our dive. If you've never experienced curious shark behavior, it might be worth it, but I doubt if we will do the dive twice.
Seems to be a bit of controversy in the other posts about the PDC Bull Shark dives, as apparently some shops are chumming the site to keep the sharks around. It was pretty clear (no pun intended) that there wasn't much else in the area to keep them coming back.
Have fun!
