From Eekthor: is there any way to predict neoprene compression at a specific depth

It’s not easy. Depends on thickness of the suit and consistency of air bubbles in the neoprene. I don’t know of any calculations or charts for this. But you really don’t need to go that deep into the issue. You’ve already proven you can handle the cold temp with the wetsuit you have. And you can adjust for buoyancy loss by adjusting your weight and air in BC.

If you have some money to spend now, you might want to consider a 3mm shorty. That way you can comfortably dive in a little warmer water.
