DEEP DOWN EXECUTES LOI TO ACQUIRE MAKO TECHNOLOGIES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



HOUSTON, TX - June 21, 2007 - Deep Down, Inc. (OTCBB: DPDW) today announced it has executed a letter of intent (LOI) to acquire Mako Technologies, Inc. (Mako). Headquartered in Morgan City, Louisiana, Mako serves the growing offshore petroleum and marine industries with technical support services, and products vital to offshore petroleum production, through rentals of its remotely operated vehicles (ROV), subsea equipment, and diving support systems used in diving operations, offshore construction, and environmental/marine surveys.


“Mako Technologies is the perfect complement to our current operations,” commented Robert E. Chamberlain, Jr., Deep Down’s chairman. “Preliminary due-diligence on Mako indicates 2006 revenues of approximately $6.46 million with adjusted EBITDA of approximately $2.5 million, subject to final review by our auditing team. We expect total consideration for the acquisition to be $5.0 million in cash, $4.5 million in non-convertible notes, and 7,936,508 shares of common stock of Deep Down.”


“We are excited to become a part of the Deep Down family of energy service companies,” commented Jacob Marcell, Mako Technologies’ chief executive officer. “With the strength of Deep Down’s infrastructure and access to capital, we foresee the ability to take advantage of the need for both planned and “emergency” offshore rental equipment in support of the growing level of oil and gas exploration occurring in the Gulf of Mexico. We also plan to expand our operations internationally.”


Ron Smith, Deep Down’s president and chief executive officer commented, “We intend to execute a definitive agreement once we have satisfactorily completed our due-diligence. We remain committed to both organic growth and expansion through the further consolidation of offshore industry service providers to the petroleum and marine industry.”
