Snorkeling - Nassau and Freeport in March

[southwardbound]

We have scheduled (2)snorkeling excursions in mid March and we were wondering if we will need to bring our wet suits. They are not full length wet suits, short sleeves and legs. How cold will the water be in March?

Thanks!

We snorkeled in Nassau in March of 2005. We were fine without wetsuits. We also swam in the pool at the British Colonial Hilton that day and the water was actually too warm to be refreshing. We are going to snorkel in Nassau again 3 weeks from today and have no plans to wear wet suits. We've also been in the water for the dolphin encounter in early February in Nassau before and it wasn't cold then either.

Thanks for the imput. I did contact our excursion and they said the water would be about 76 degrees...
