Deep Blue won the gold medals at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 in Menzelinsk and set new performance and scoring standards for the female 4way category. The original lineup attended their last outdoor competition at the Dubai Cup in January 2011, and it was a very special event.
The team members knew that they would not continue in 2011. Françoise Simons-Hamouchi had confidentially mentioned earlier that she was planning for an addition to her family. She was not alone with her plan, as her team mate Berangere Duplouy was getting ready to have a baby, too.
Sophie Deremaux had her turn in making the NSL News social headline in July 2012 when she got married to French competitor Patrick Boulongne. Then it was back to athletics for her a few months later. Laurence Herve had broken her ankle, and the Deep Blue Defenders needed her help.
Sophie Deremaux came back in the Point slot this time, and she defended her gold medal successfully at the Mondial Dubai 2012, together with Amelie Tirman in the Tail slot. Then she retired again, this time also together with Amelie Tirman.

It seems like the original Deep Blue members are still well in synch with each other and plan their family lives very well according to their 4way passion. The original lineup had a reunion this year at the Aerokart Indoor Championship 2013 and came back together a second time at the World Challenge 2013.
It would be no surprise if Deep Blue had plans to copy the reunion double header for the 2014 season, as well. Amelie Tirman's pregnancy would not be in the way, just as Berangere Duplouy and Francoise Simons-Hamouchi had timed their family lives perfectly. Amelie Tirman will deliver in January and has enough time to recover before the first 2014 reunion. The Deep Blue family is growing consistently...
