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)
