The non-water-oriented factors in the rating system gives this site a far higher score than it deserves. It's easy to get to by a good road, the visibility is good, and inside the lagoon, there's no current or surf. There's a nice park onshore as well. All of those non-diving-related fives jack up the average for the flat, slimy-seaweed-covered bottom, the tiny showings of coral, the few fish, the windsurfer traffic, and the limited opportunities for anything but a low-key swim or snorkel. We stayed right across the lane in a great house, and we still drove to Tunnels or Ke'e, or down to Lamai or Koloa Landing, for actually good (for Kauai) snorkeling and diving.
