About this site
Valle de las Esponjas lies within the Straits of Florida, the deep water channel separating the Florida Keys from Cuba, in this case off Cuba's northern coast. The name, Spanish for Valley of the Sponges, points to a seabed feature known locally for its sponge formations. The Straits are a busy corridor of strong currents where Atlantic and Caribbean waters funnel between the two coastlines.
