Most of the time you will be needing a wetsuit. There are different wetsuit thicknesses to consider for warm or cold waters. Staying in water for extensive periods of time even in moderately warm waters can get cold, and in colder waters it can become unbearable, besides you may risk an onset of hypothermia. This is because bodily heat is lost 30 times more faster in water.

Do you have to be a certain weight or body type to be a scuba diver?

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. You may look stupid with a very tight wet suit during scuba diving, but you can dive. When I got certified, I learned that you have a very slightly higher chance of the Bends during scuba diving, but this is a small percentage. The pros of scuba diving outweigh the cons.
