What part of Florida will you be vacationing in? Key West, Ft Lauderdale area, cave country, panhandle, or the gulf coast?

That will give posters an idea of what dive sites you will be near.

10X a lot that's very helpful
 
I live in Orlando; I also recommend Jupiter / West Palm Beach / Boynton Beach. All within a 2.5 hour drive from the Orlando airport for day trips; if you stay overnight in that area for 1 or 2 nights you can easily do as many as 8 dives.

I'm not a certified Cavern or Cave Diver, but I don't think that any of the Florida Caverns/Caves within day trip distance from Orlando encourage or support a "discover Cavern" guided experience. There are no SCUBA police, so you might find someone to do it. However, I think you could arrange with a Cavern/Cave Instructor to take a lesson. My off-the-cuff recommendation, since you have GUE Tech Certs, would be to contact Extreme Exposure shop in High Springs. That's a lot to try to get done in 2 days of diving though.

... or contact GUE HQ since they are also in High Springs along with Extreme Exposure. Given that you are GUE Tech 2, I'm sure they can work with you an a proper way to allow you to safely experience the FL caverns/caves. High Spring FL is around 2 hrs northwest of Orlando.

And you could try asking for an invite to this private GUE sub-group on Facebook: South East Underwater Explorers (SEUE).
 
@almog, certainly NOT dive related, but falling into the category of "something you don't see everyday", NASA is planning a couple rocket launches that might coincide with your trip. One of these is a manned space flight to the ISS that is currently scheduled for 15 April.
