What would would you dive with in water between 15C and 22C (59-72F)? Around 1 hour to 1.5 hour dives?

I currently use a 7mm semi-dry. I wear thermals (poly pro) under the suit when the water hits 17C (62.6F).

I'm curious to what the 'tolerance' of other divers is... :popcorn:
 
15º Celsius = 59º Fahrenheit
 
My bad. I can't type... Fixed now.
 
In those same water temps, until now, I have been diving a 2 piece 7 mil Bare wetsuit. A few 52 degree bottom temp dives and a freezing and shivering diver later - I just switched to a drysuit.
 
Between 80 and 70 degrees, if I had to dive wet in order to do the dive, I'd probably dive. Below 70 degrees, I'm not diving unless I have my dry suit.

Really? 70? How long are you diving for?
 
I agree with TS and M, anything below 67 I start getting cold, and dive dry............I hate 5+ wetsuits, and dont own any. I could probably dive 5mm between 70-65, but I just wear my fusion bullet and adjust undergarments to temp............
 
No doubt about it, I'd be in a drysuit. I could do an occasional wetsuit dive (7mm), but wouldn't be pleased about it.
