That's a bit tough. I have dove Puerto Rico the past several years between Christmas and New Years and the water is 81-82F. One dive buddy did it in swim trunks while another wore a full. I usuall wear a full but I'm probably going to take a shortie.
 
Just came back from Cozumel , Didn't take one, Didn't ware one, Didn't need one.

Dove 4 times a day for a week and went on three night dives.
 
Just dove for 3 weeks in cozumel as well, I would say a 5 mm full would be plenty.

Hard to make a good suggestion without knowing your body's tolerance for cold. I'd dive a 3/2mm full wetsuit in the Caribbean if doing 3-4 dives a day.
 
I love that the op left a week ago and people are still pitching in, and pitching in wetsuits he doesn't own.

Bill, if you had a 5 mm shorty and a 5 mm full.... which would you take?

Also, I think these questions should be answered with common temperatures this time of year, not suit type as tolerances and opinions vary wildly
