Congrats but don’t rule Mexico out. I’d dive mx any day over Florida. We have just as much heat and just as many bugs and skeeters. As you dive places like Mexico more you’ll figure out how to make life easier (you’ll figure out how to keep mosquitoes at bay, how to deal with the heat, best ways to gear up to minimize sun and bug exposure). Taj maha is one of the worst “training” caves for mosquitoes imo. I get bit up there too. The coils are really a night and day difference but you got to light the, asap and place strategically. There are much worse places there (mosquito factory and tortuga for example). But there are other caves you won’t see a mosquito.There are FL caves as well as the WI mine I dive all winter. I don’t plan on going back to MX.
If you stick with cave diving and get more experience you’ll quickly learn that some of the best and most enjoyable sites don’t have benches, bathrooms, or anything other than a trail leading to the water. There are also other places to cave dive such as France, which is amazing topside.
Point is the mosquitoes suck but it’s something you get used to and learn to deal with. I got dengue fever 3 years ago in mx from a mosquito bite. It was miserable. I had to have my wife take me to the er at 3am. But I still would go to mx any chance I get
