    I am going to Florida for college. I am from up north and want to know what wetsuits you wear in the winter in Florida. Will I need my 5 mil boots gloves and hood? I hope not

    no, definitely dont need the 5mm. the water does get cold in the winter, but we are talking 50s... so as daniel said a 3/2 and 3mm boots will be good.
