I currently have a 3/2 full wetsuit which works fine around 80 degrees.  I'd
like to do some dives in water around 70 degrees.  Looking at a Bare suit

with a hood.  They make a 7mm and 5mm version.  ...

I'm planning on going into the pool with my instructor while he's teaching a
new class.  It will give me a chance to get weighted (in fresh water) with

time off work.  So far, so good.  Now we need a destination.
Our first choice was the Cayman Aggressor.  They have online
