Disclosed is a deep water anchoring system including a structural body floating at the surface of a body of water and with an intermediate floating member directly under and spaced from the floating structural body, the intermediate floating member being submerged below the surface of the water a distance sufficient to be unaffected directly by surface winds and waves. A gravity anchor along the bed of the body of water is coupled to the intermediate floating member via multiple cables which perferably extend angularly outwardly from the intermediate floating member. The anchoring system is provided with at least three separate and rigid rods, each of which are rotatably coupled at one end to the intermediate floating member and rotatably coupled at the other end to the floating structural body.
