Not bad. The surface is around 80F.
There are usually 2 thermalclines - one at around 20-25ft dropping down to like 70F or so and then a big one at the flamingo (boat) at around 35F dropping down to 50F
Ive seen people dive with less than 7mm (one of my instructor just dives with a skin. It's warm) but if you want to check out the boat or the hole, a hood and gloves would be good.
