About this site
The coordinates for Ancla De Masaya place it in open Gulf of Mexico waters northwest of Cuba, off the Yucatan Channel area between the Yucatan Peninsula and the Florida Straits. This stretch of the Gulf is characterized by deep channel waters where currents from the Caribbean move north into the Gulf of Mexico.
