Lewda is a shallow Bimini coral site over white sand.
Lewda, also known as AKA Kinks, is a low-profile coral site over white sand in Bimini, with old anchors, large concrete cubes, and cables from past acoustic work marking the reef edges. It suits relaxed scuba divers who want a compact reef with good marine life, but it also asks for attention to current, snag points, and boat timing.
