Zinetti teaches IANTD and TDI out of Cave Adventurers in the Florida panhandle. He also teaches mine diving, which almost nobody in the United States does. The forum evidence is short and pointed: asked for sidemount cave instructors, r/scuba answers with "Edd Sorensen, Dene Ulmschneider, Mehdi Zinetti — are 3 big names in the [sidemount cave world]", which puts him in a field of three. Reviews of the shop describe a team that runs against the grain of what people expect from cave country — one diver arrived braced for a highly competitive community and found the opposite. Most of Cave Adventurers' reviews name Edd Sorenson, so fewer students have written about Zinetti individually than his standing on the forums would suggest.
