It's pretty much up to how modest you want to be. Most of us get into or out
of our wetsuits on the boat.  If everyone on the boat is comfortable with
nudity, then natural is fine. If not, you should at least wear something.
The one exception is women.  Women should always go natural, naturally.  If
they're sufficiently top heavy, they should also lower the zipper an
appreciable, or appreciated amount.  Yes, I'm a male chauvanist pig, but I
know what I like.  A speedo, or similar fits better under a suit than other
options, but it doesn't have to be one of the near thong types.  Speedo
makes similar suits from a thong to something similar to boxers but tighter
fitting. If you're hung like a horse, wear something baggy.  Those of us
that aren't so well equipped, won't appreciate your good fortune.

Personally, I'm layered.  I start out with a normal Speedo.  I don't stand
around in it long.  I'm not longer in the kind of shape that a Speedo
requires.  I wear a lycra skin over the Speedos on pretty muchall dives both
to avoid stinging things in the water column and to protect me from the sun
while on the surface.  Thanks to my blond hair, blue eyes and light
complesion (my butt only, the rest of me is usually tanned), the sun and I
are not good friends.  The sun and my dermatologist, on the other hand, get
along great.  When the water is cold enough, which is is right now, I wear a
wet suit over the skin.  The skin makes it a bit easier to get into the
wetsuit.
