After being approached by an elderly gent telling me I wasn't supposed to be flying my small quadcopter in a specific countryside area, I decided to investigate the detailed rules and regulations. I had to speak with NATS and the CAA to get to the bottom of it due to some of the language used in the notices and the linkage to maps and terminology that only a qualified pilot would know how to interpret.

![Manta Ray Madness, Hawaii, Scuba Diving
Still to this day the most amazing spectacle that we have seen in all of our travels. Manta Ray Madness is a night dive off the coast of Big Island (Hawaii) where the operators place huge lights on the bottom which creates a beam of lit plankton which the manta rays go crazy for. Unbelievable to watch and have the mantas swim so close over you for a good hour or so. Wow! [*re-edited and better quality version just uploaded*].
