With a complete 5mm you'll be good.
That's the suit the clubs rent.

I dove in a 3mm everything there. If you get too warm you can just flush the suit with water.

I love these conversations where the answer is anywhere between "You'll be fine with a rash guard" and "I'd recommend 6mil" really goes to show what the difference in cold tolerance there is for different people.
When I was looking for my wetsuit for diving in new england everyone was telling me you need 7mil otherwise you'll be freezing, so that is what I got. Turns out its way too thick for me and I now use a 3mil most of the year and save the 7mil for the winter. Did a Jan dive with 43*f water temp and was very comfortable. Probably could do ice diving and still be comfortable for me (Its on the to do list someday).
