Great article, interesting hook, good to go as soon as the QPQ is completed. Minor note: the linked source doesn't give the year as 1975, but other sources such as this confirm the DYK fact. Philepitta (talk) 03:16, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- Philepitta, what do you mean? The source explicitly states "In 1975 Tobias became the first woman to graduate from the Navy Deep Sea Diving School." QPQ done. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 07:26, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
You are right, the source does give the year. Philepitta (talk) 04:00, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
