I see that posted water temps in Dominica right now are:
Soufrière Water Temperature
30.3°C / 86.6°F
Sounds toasty! Do people anticipate diving with shorties, skins, bathing suit alone...?

I have a one piece full length 2 mil that I always bring with me. I expect that I will wear that on the first dive and probably dive in my swim trunks and a tee shirt after that as usual. I may use the wetsuit for the night diving more for protection than temperature. Ed

With the temps that warm I'll likely just do a swimsuit and rash guard but will bring my 3 mil in case I need it.

Some of us always dive 'warm' so no matter the temps I have a 'summer 5 and a winter 5'. Obviously the winter 5mm is the new suit and the summer is the old suit. 
You will want some protection on your arms and legs... and while jellies are not a huge problem... you can encounter stinging stuff in the water so just a good practice.
Also those temps may decline some but it will still be warm... YAY!!!

With water temps like that I will be going out in swim trunks and short sleeved rash guard. I went a week in Bonaire last month and wasn't ever cold.
