About This Dive Spot
Lewda, also known as Kinks, features a low-profile coral structure situated over white sand at depths of 45 to 50 feet. The site is marked by large concrete cubes and is home to multiple old anchors. Divers should be aware that currents can be present, offering limited protection. This area was previously utilized for acoustic studies on fishlife by Lerner Marine Lab, and remnants of cables can still be observed across the reef. The marine life is diverse, with sightings of large fish shoals, rays, turtles, and various sea fans and gorgonians. Additionally, lobsters and crabs inhabit the area, and it is not uncommon to hear or see dolphins nearby.
