Wetsuit time conversion factor

Does anyone know of a 'reasonable' conversion factor for open water swims wearing versus not wearing a wetsuit? I know...lots of variables including individual capabilities. Thanks, Tree

    I've also seen occurrences where some swimmers would be faster without a wet compared to swimming with one. Quite a large margin. Do explain. I cannot imagine this is true. Wait, a person missing both arms might be faster in a speedo than a full sleeve wetsuit. I don't think that is what you meant.
