"Have you ever been out on the street in the spring or fall and noticed people wearing everything from shorts & T-shirts to full coats with hats & scarves, all apparently in comfort? Well, things are no different underwater. This comfort is highly variable among individuals depending on such factors as percentage of body fat, age & tolerance to thermal discomfort. Other determinants, like how many dives a day over how many days you are planning, are also important. When you ask 'What wetsuit should I wear?,' you'll get answers ranging all the way from 'just a bathing suit' through '5 mm full.'
The question is better asked: 'What water temps can I anticipate at my destination?' You'll receive a pretty accurate answer to this, and then can decide what's best for you based on your personal thermal comfort needs."
Best regards.
