Are there places suitable for inexperienced divers?
You did not mention how many dives, how comfortable your daughter is diving, etc..
The current is not strong at all. Cozumel has many locations to dive for the
novice diver. Drift is all you do, some drift is fast enough that you can't stop to smell the coral. most are casual rides...

The South side of the island has new sites which many have not seen.
It appears to be tailored more towards the OW to Advanced.. Mostly OW from what I can make out.

You are on the West side of the island. Here the dives are a little deeper, than on the South side or more towards Central Plaza . Your daughter should be fine if she is comfortable in the water.

My group is heading to Cozumel in July...

Good Luck
