I've taught scuba diving for 40+ years. I've owned several wet suits and found that none of them have provided me with my expectations of warmth. Maybe being from the gulf coast of Texas has me accustomed to a particular temperature. I took a class to Santa Ana, Ca in February one time and with a full body suit (head cover, etc) I thought I was going to freeze to death. So, I would suggest renting one from a dive shop to see if it is something that works for you. There is a dry suit, too. I have no experience with that but I hear they can get too hot unless you are diving in the artic.
