Splitting a week or two vacation between Cozumel and cenotes on the mainland is a great way to do some of both types of diving while building up enough experience to begin an Intro course on a more solid footing. Maybe sticking with the guided cenote cavern dives for now will satisfy your lust for wet rocks? The cenotes are a different animal from the FL caves; as you may have discovered, some of the cenotes popular for the guided cavern dives have openings to daylight scattered along the cavern line, whereas there are few caverns in FL that don't get dark (and thus end the cavern zone) real fast.
