If the wetsuit is Coast Guard Approved I would just wear the wetsuit, although I've never heard of a wetsuit that doubles as a life jacket. I would doubt it is CGA and would wear the vest over your wetsuit.

If it is CGA you should see a logo on it somewhere stating it is.

Some barefoot suits are actually CGA, my buddy has an Intensity that is though none of mine are. No need for a jacket over anything with built in flotation IMO. If you plan on going large and possibly could be injured wear a regular wetsuit and approved jacket.
