Converting C to F (C x 1.8) + 32 = F (28x1.8) +32 = 82.4
Converting F to C (F-32) divide by 1.8 (82.4-32) divide by 1.8 = 28.
Anyhow, 28C/82F is the water temp most of the time here in Guam. I haven't worn a wetsuit in 10 years/5700+ dives, but 99% of the Asian tourists do wear wetsuits. A lot of the military/locals...especially men....don't often wear wetsuits. On the other hand, even though I'm comfortable in the water without a wetsuit, it DOES get cold on the boat if it's raining/windy etc., so it would be good to have a jacket along if you're not wearing a wetsuit. And, as others have said, some people are a lot more susceptible to cold than others. For most people, however, a 7mm is a lot more wetsuit than needed...I've seen quite a few people struggle to get into a 5 or 7mm wetsuit with 90F air temp and need to be hosed down to keep from overheating on the boat
