It's quite good. If you're looking specifically for aliens, you'll enjoy the second trilogy (Brightness Reef, Heaven's Reach, Infinity's Shore) which is set on a planet where members of various species are attempting to live together outside the structure of galactic society.
I like Sundiver even though it isn't very much like the rest of the series. I'd say check it out, and if it doesn't grab you just move on to Startide Rising. Skipping straight to Brightness Reef will also work.
Honestly might just jump to Reef based on that! I'll do some more research first.
Startide does give some context to make some of Reef's anomalies more interesting earlier than Reef by itself would reveal. (Don't want to say more to avoid spoilers.)
