Sorry man, a certified cave diver is a certified cave diver!
A certified CCR diver is a certified CCR Diver!
A certified recreational diver is a certified recreational diver!
Ect, Ect..................

So, if I do all of my training and diving in Grand Cayman in a 3mil wetsuit, can I just go jump into the north atlantic/great lakes with a drysuit/dry gloves?

I've always believed that one needs to train for the environment where one intends to dive. Generally speaking, if you train in more difficult conditions (colder, higher flow, deeper), less difficult conditions are, well, less difficult.

That's not to say that I don't think Mexican caves provide a challenge, I just believe that the caves in N Florida present a greater variety of challenges.
