HOUSTON, TX – October 21, 2009 – Deep Down, Inc. (OTC BB: DPDW) announces the 30th anniversary of Flotation Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Over the past three decades, Flotation Technologies has served as a world-leading buoyancy manufacturer to offshore oil, defense, seismic, and oceanographic customers in more than 40 countries around the globe. Flotation Technologies has invented or brought to market numerous proprietary products designed to meet the needs of its diverse customer base, including ADCP buoys, trawl resistant bottom mounts (TRBM), distributed buoyancy modules, bend restrictors, drilling riser buoyancy modules, and cable floats.
