There was some discussion about that when those new measurements were 
introduced.
We settled on "the number of stars should reflect how good, how comfortable, 
how fun a dive was".
So weak current, low surge, great visibility, etc.

I find myself at times disagreeing with this (even though it was MY 
suggestion), but every time I step back and ask myself "what's a dive with all 
ratings 5 stars - which is what we are trained as consumers to think of as 
'perfect'?"
And high surge, high current, high chill don't fit that perception. So that's 
why I think what we do is correct.
