lost, even with a compass
Coldest is 48 degrees at max depth of 80' for about 35min. About an hour SI with temps about 55 and back in for another 35 or so. All this in a 6.5 semi dry. Would I do it again? Not since I bought a dry suit 
. All in all it wasn't bad but I wouldn't want to do it every time.

I went with 2 guys in Dry suits in 30F air temp (until the sun came up then probably 45) the surface was 60 the 40F below the TC... 7mm full jump suit, 3 mm core (shorty) 5mm gloves, hood and boots.
Did 4 dives about an hour each. The only time I was cold was during our surface interval.
Everyone is different though.

42 degrees F is at the max for me in my 6.5mm FJ/J when doing repetitive dives.
