Yep. Whatever you usually wear in 78 degree water. Add a beanie or hood if you get chilled. I carry one of those cheap survival blankets that fit in a pocket folded up in case I get chilled on the boat ride. Used one once, and now it takes a backpack to carry it - no way to fold it up like it was. They're only a dollar each tho.Everybody is a bit different when it comes to cold tolerance.
I've seen a few dive that way. l like a full jumpsuit skin at least to protect against stings from floaters."you'll be fine with just a T-Shirt and swim trunks"
I did that, with a hot ice pick. Small holes that you can't see, but put an end to the trapped air problem.The one thing I did need to do to this tropic beanie was take a hot nail and poke/melt a vent hole in the top
