I also thought a 3mm would be enough in that temp too but I froze in Palau/Yap. Granted, it was 3 dives a day for 20 days but I wasn't even toasty at the beginning of the trip. I also had a hoodie on during that trip (just the hood not a hood/vest). It wasn't a matter of fit since my wetsuit really does fit me like a glove. It could just be my body adjusting since I went from a size 14 to a size 4 in the 6 months prior to the trip. Anyway, we are looking at going to Indonesia for an extended trip and I really don't want to shake from being so cold that I have to hold my reg in my mouth again like I did on the last trip. That's why I was thinking a 5 mm might be up my alley.
