Curious what are you wearing to keep you warm in Florida during your dives?

What type of gear are you wearing this January to keep you warm?

I dove Pompano last week 2 dives @ about 30' bottom temp around 73 degrees. I used 3mm on the first one and was a bit chilly at the end so I switched to 5mm on dive 2 and was plenty warm. I am a bit warm blooded myself so YMMV. Also I use no gloves or hood but do wear 6mm boots which I always have on no matter what the water temp. I am going off of West Palm tomorrow with Pura Vida for 2 tank dive at 60'-70' and will be in 5mm no gloves or hood.

Definitely not one of those hooded towelling poncho things from deaths wardrobe

Drysuit or I have a Deep6 7mm wetsuit as well that I'd highly recommend

 

[Divin'Papaw]

Sharkskin hooded vest, Sharkskin socks, Bare Reactive full boots, Bare Reactive 5mm full suit, and a long, windproof boat coat on chilly or windy days.

5mm Henderson thermoprene wetsuit, 5mm boots, lavacore hood, regular 1mm gloves. Boat coat for surface interval.
I was warm with this set up last Sunday @ Jupiter with JDC, 58F degrees air temp in the morning with water 73-74F.

What kind of temps do you get over there during winter?
I'm curious because your gear is pretty much identical to my own and I'm up north in Sweden.

Temps are awful here in the winter. 72-75F down to 120'-150' or so (thermocline varies greatly) and mid-upper 60s below that.

My guess would be that @grantctobin is answering for the Chicago area. When I lived in the Midwest I would wear that in the winter. Water temps there are in the upper 30s to low 40s F.
