Exposure Protection Requirments?

[Tanstaafl]

I will be headed to Fort Lauderdale in early March. This will be my first ocean dive and I don't know what to expect for water temps.
I have a 3/2 Diveskin. Will this be enough? Assume dive max 60' Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A 3/2 should be fine. Water temps right now are 72-73 and in March it should be around there.

For the Info. I just spent the evening at my LDS going over equipment and getting ready. After all, it's only 6 weeks away.

Geez, after diving up here (Portland/Seattle) diving in that water would require no exposure protection! Just kidding, a 3/2 would be fine unless you are very thin and prone to getting cold then you may want to rent a 3mil full suit.
