South side of.... Roatan?
Should be about 80-82 degrees, if you are diving the "front yard" of CCV, it can get in the high 80's by mid afternoon on a calm day. On the South side, most of the best is shallow (above 60') so temps at depth are not something that I really notice, maybe 1 degree?
At CCV, if you are doing the 5x a day, residual core temp is an issue to consider as well.

Was on the south side a week ago diving out of FI and staying at Parrot Tree. All boat dives at nearby sites. Never went deeper than ~90 feet and most of the time and better dives seemed to be from 35 - 60 feet or so. Computer said lowest temp on those dives was 78F.

80 degrees all week, feels a bit cooler about 50-60 feet down but it's been very windy until today. I've been diving in either a 3mil spring suit or a lycra shirt, my son has been trunking it. Most of the people here have either been doing the same or wearing a skin for protection rather than warmth. You should be fine in whatever you bring, but don't need much.

Thanks for the input. Bringing the 3 mil full and my 1 mil hooded vest as a backup. I am a candy.....

I posted before we did a night dive- bring something for protection, or dive at night with a long sleeve shirt. We swam the gauntlet of jelly fish getting to the swim step, and it felt like constant electric shocks. My son had a welt on his neck the size of an apple.
