Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Deep Down, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Deep Down,” “we,” “us” or the “Company”) were prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or the “Commission”) pertaining to interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted under those rules, certain notes or other financial information that are normally required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed on March 28, 2014 with the Commission. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosed amounts of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which the financial statements are based change in future periods, then the actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Deep Down, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Segments	Segments For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our operating segments have been aggregated into a single reporting segment.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Effective January 1, 2013, we adopted ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” issued by the FASB. Significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income are required to be presented either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements. The updated guidance is to be applied prospectively, effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of this update concerns disclosure only and did not have any financial impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure of accounting policy regarding (1) the principles it follows in consolidating or combining the separate financial statements, including the principles followed in determining the inclusion or exclusion of subsidiaries or other entities in the consolidated or combined financial statements and (2) its treatment of interests (for example, common stock, a partnership interest or other means of exerting influence) in other entities, for example consolidation or use of the equity or cost methods of accounting. The accounting policy may also address the accounting treatment for intercompany accounts and transactions, noncontrolling interest, and the income statement treatment in consolidation for issuances of stock by a subsidiary.
