Welcome to CAVES COAST DAVES COAST. This is an outdoors channel devoted to the exploration and appreciation of the Australian inter-tidal zone. This is an adventure sport backgrounded in the United Kingdom and being a hybrid of coastwalking and the sport of orienteering . Coasteering is a truly, literally immersive experience to get the mind back focussed on first principles : fight or flight, survival, the overcoming of obstacles, the gaining of wonderment, and gratitude. There will be the crossing of sometime shark-infested waters.There are underwater arches to navigate, pristine rockpools to explore, isolated headlands, changeable weather and always, always unpredictable swell and lurking dangers. Flora and fauna unique to the Australian coastline. Blood may well be spilled. Sit back and consider. Learn from my many missteps. Come on the coasteering journey and live a little, more. 'Cause if it's a caves coast then it's a dave's coast. DaveF
