Trust me, I'm as shocked as the next person that I would even consider a 5mm for 78 degree or above water!
I used to tease the other liveaboard divers that were wearing wetsuits...expecially the 5mm ones. The only time that i wore a wetsuit before that was during rescue diver class and that was a 3mm in 69 degree water. Like I said, I am shocked by it too!
Thanks for the heads up about the merino wool vs. stretchy non-merino wool suits. I don't have a stretchy suit now, so that's not the issue, but it saved me from wasting more money on a wetsuit that wouldn't keep me any warmer than the last one.
