TheWoWDBYou may find that the Naga you need to talk to is constantly dead, as max levels training archeology on the island regularly kill it. Extremely frustrating.

This quest is real fun! With the provided Slitherblade Charm you transform yourself into a naga. It's nice to swim so fast!
This, and the following quests, are not just for the Alliance. I did it on my Horde hunter.

Description
I have fashioned a charm that will allow you to infiltrate the naga, giving you the appearance of one of their own. With this disguise, you will be able to speak and understand their language. They will be unable to discern your true identity. But beware! The sharks and other sea creatures here will expose you for all to see. Avoid them at all costs. Now go. Speak to the Priestess of Azshara and do what you must to learn of their purposes here.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Slitherblade Slaughter
Time and again, the naga have proven to be enemies to the balance of nature. I have no qualms with the spilling of their blood. Your best efforts though, would barely put a dent in their forces here. Where one falls, two seem to rise in their place. I have a plan, <class>.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Wetter Than Wet
Neptulon's minions have arrived here and are doing all they can to thwart us. Clearly, they've discovered our motives. This only confirms my suspicion that what we seek is indeed somewhere in these ruins! These water elementals are no match for our forces!
