Here is a website for a buoy NorthWest of Cozumel.
It has some great information.

I was in Cozumel from March 20th to 30th. Water temps consistently 79 F and 80 F
I was wearing my full 3 mm suit, and we had one member of our group wearing shorts and t-shirt. His dives averaged 30 to 35 minutes, while mine averaged 60 minutes. Not sure if it was his air consumption or him getting cold, but personally I would wear some exposure protection.
Hope this helps !!

We were in Cozumel from March 27 - April 7. Water temps consistently 74 - 76 as indicated by all 4 of our computers. We all had 3mm shorties. I wished at about the 45 - 50 minute mark that I had a 3mm full.

Sounds more like the air temp than the water! It was 79-80 in February.
We were in Coz last week and the water temps were ranging from 77 - 81 degrees. We had our 3mm full wetsuits and for two dives they were fine. Some days we did four dives and ended up being rather cold by the 4th dive if we didn't have enough time to dry off and warm up between the 2nd and 3rd dive. There were people on our boat with just swimsuits on and they wished they had wetsuits.

I wish.
I should have said the temp was indicated by 5 computers. The DM's showed the same.
Yes, I read about the warm temps in Jan and Feb. and thought that we'd see 80+.
We dove from Columbia Deep to Paradise for our night dive.

Very unusual temps for Cozumel. We dove Key Largo 2 weeks ago with temps like that.
