We just got back 9/12 from Roatan. My wife wore a 5mil and hood and was comfortable for 25 dives (water temp 85F)-- she also wore a drysuit there last January. I wore a skin (actually 3 different ones because its nice to always have a dry skin to put on). It all depends on your own personal cold tolerance.

OMG :confused: You made an excellent point: "It all depends on your own personal cold tolerance". If I went diving when the water temperature was 85 degrees and I wore anything more than a skin - I would DIE :shocked2: of heat exhaustion.
