help finding a wetsuit for mediteran sea

Hy Guys

I am looking for a wetsuit for the mediteran sea(croatia, greece, italy)
I will go to croatia in september, where the sea is already a bit cold(~20°C)
and i am looking for affordable beginner wetsuit for spearfishing,
which i can also use for scuba diving.

The questions are

one or two part wetsuit..?
thickness 3mm 5mm or even 7mm
camu or not camu..?
Do i need gloves..? advantages..?
any good brands

In a shop i found the
Mares Instinct Sport 55, which looks quite good..

And another question:
I have quite good Scubafins with open heel.
Is there a real big difference between freediving fins and scubafins.

thanks in advance for the answers

-two part wetsuit
-5mm
 
What Vedrana said, and gloves plus neoprene socks as feet and hands are the first to get cold. Cressi suits are good and cheap. My rule of thumb is 3 mm for 18º and up and 5mm for temperatures below that. I'm not skinny these days, I have a little extra insulation! :)
 
OK.
Thanks for your replies. That helps me a lot.
So i will go for a 5mm two part wetsuit,
to be on the safe side.
And i will buy gloves.
I do have neoprene shoes for my fins,
so dont need socks. i think i wont buy other fins,
because i just started freediving/spearfishing.

And i think i will go for a "not camo" Model,
because i dont want to get lynched on my first scuba-dive.. :D
