Is there a convenient place to find the typical water termperature at popular destinations?

I am going on a cruise next week and plan to dive Cozumel and Belize. I would like to know what water temperatures to expect so I can plan which wet suit to bring but haven't found a site with that info.

Ideas?
 
In the past the rule of thumb has been that the water temperature in the Caribbean changes about 5 degree from summer to winter, approximately 78 to 83 degrees. Maybe a little warmer if the seas have been calm on an exceptionally hot day, and maybe a little colder if fresh rain water is sitting on the surface or fresh water is running into the ocean, from sources such as a river or underground stream. Lately it seems the temperatures as a whole have been running a little warmer.
