Lewda is a drift dive located off Grand Bahama, characterised by a reef environment at depths between 14 and 15 metres. Divers experience strong currents, which require boat access and careful planning for pick-up. Visibility at the site typically ranges from 20 to 40 metres. Due to the consistent current, this site is suited for intermediate divers. There are no fixed facilities at the location, and surface marker buoys are recommended for tracking during the drift. Avoid entry attempts near the shore to prevent risks associated with surf and shore break.

Because the current runs strong, time your entry so the drift carries you along the reef rather than across it, and make sure your group agrees on a pick-up plan with the boat before descending. Tow a surface marker buoy throughout the dive so the boat can track you during the drift.
Most dive sites are 5-15 minutes from the dock by boat.
