Are there sea snakes in Kauai?

We do have sea snakes in Hawai'i from time to time that drift in on the currents, but we have a type of eel that looks very similar to a sea snake. Sea snakes are reptiles and they need to breathe air. So when you see one on the bottom within a 30 minute period of time, the snake will swim to the surface to breathe.
