The best bet for last-minute rentals is Sport Chalet since, despite their other faults, they are open until 9 tonight. To find the nearest store, go to: http://www.sportchalet.com/corp/index.jsp?page=stores
The water is warming up into the mid-to-high 60s on the surface, but at depth, you're going to get cold very quickly in a thin suit. You really should have at least a 3/2 mm wetsuit if not a 7 mm full suit. (It's also good protection against urchins and rocky entries/exits). Sport Chalet can rent you a suit as well.
If you're going to be at Marineland tomorrow I have an old two-piece piece wetsuit I could bring and let you borrow. It would fit you if you're close to 6 foot and 220 pounds. E-mail me if you need it and you're planning to go tomorrow.
Hope to see you there,
Jon
