Opinions vary, but personally, I would not dive in less than a 10mm wetsuit in water that cold. Otherwise you will have a very short and fairly uncomfortable dive.

No, you don't need a certain body type to scuba dive. Because you use flippers to SCUBA dive, you can be a very lousy swimmer and learn to SCUBA dive.
