Hi Janne, welcome to DB!

The waters you'll be diving in are relatively cold, so I'd say a 7mm or 5mm wetsuit would suit your needings, depending how cold-sensitive you are.

Hope that helps.

Definitely go for an opencell suit. They are much warmer than conventional wetsuits.

Check out this thread, it should answer most of your questions on the suit. Definitely get an open cell.
