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.
