Second what has been said already .... I beleive that the texts that suggest 75 are a bit outmoded/outdated.

The temp in a lagoon can get way more than 75.

The times I've had the presence of mind to check temperatures when I've been diving, once was in GBR (man what a trip) and once in Cancun Mexico, the water was ~26F which works out to 78-79.

FWIW, I run my tanks at about 25.5C/26C (I prefer to think in terms of C ... I am Canadian, darn it, I will use metric and so too should you all out there!!! :D ) which works out to 78. Spikes to ~28 (about 82) on a warm day. 28C/82F is a totally fine temperature IMO.
