scuba & water temps

[runner26.2]

We leave Sunday (Feb 1) on Pearl. Planning on diving belize, roatan & cozumel. I was planning on wearing my 2mm shorty. I'm now having second thoughts. A friend was to belize a few years ago and said he wore a 3mm full length suit because he was too cold.

 

What has been others experience for early Feb diving in these spots ??
