Wet Suit Thickness for West Palm Beach in late December

[dwatts]

OK, I'm down here in West Palm Beach for new years and plan to dive once or twice. I do not get cold easily so I'm wondering what wetsuit to wear. I have a 3mm and a 7mm. I am guessing that I will be going to 70 to 90 feet.

Anyone have any recommendations for me?
Thanks!

3mm ...

I went in feb and wore a full 3mm and was just fine. Others got a bit cold though by the second dive.

I run a bit warm anyway so I was perfectly fine.

since you are not a "cold" diver then 3mm should be fine, especially if you bring a hood.

We dive in 3mms in Dec-Feb when we visit WPB. Safe diving!

If you go with a 3 mm, bring a Warm Wind or a Parka you can slip on over you, during the Surface Interval....in case it is a cold day.

I get cold easily. Today I wore a 3mm with 2mm vest and beanie and was modestly comfortable but got chilled at the 45 minute mark on second dive.

I'm a big wus, so I dive with a 5mm All year around until I get a 7mm soon....
