A 5mm in Belize..in June...is too much. That is perfect for a 2/3 mil with a hoodie or vest for precaution if needed. They are much easier to pack and will serve you better than a 5mil. Whew...I'd hate to have to wrestle that on in the Belize heat/humidity.

FWIW...its 90 degrees and 67% humidity in Belize today. Water temp...I'm guessing 80 degrees?

Have great trip!
 
I agree with banjo. I use a full 3 or 3.5 with a hooded 2m vest in Nov thru Apr or so. Now I use just the vest. Or a 2m shortie and vest. I was using the 3m full and vest three weeks ago and spent a lot of time flushing cool water into my suit. From now to Sept Oct, it's warm.
