Freediving Country Statistics

This chart contains statistical data for all countries with more than 5 registered ApneaBase.org members. Besides the number of registered members, it shows also some other interesting data, including data recalculated to respect the number of inhabitants in respective countries (the "per capita" columns). See below the explanation of individual columns:

users - number of users who attempted to register at ApneaBase.org. Since we have very strict criteria for accepting new members, where the applicants need to prove sufficient knowledge of freediving theory, only part of those who started the registration became regular members.
competitors - number of freedivers with at least one registered performance from a freediving competition in the ranking database
competitions - the total number of competitions organized in given country since 2002; the second number in this columns shows the average number of competitions per year.
per 1M capita - same values as in the first columns, just relative to 1 million of inhabitants in each respective country. At the competition column, the first number gives number of yearly competitions per million inhabitants, while the second number shows the average yearly number of competitions per 100 competitors.
success rate - represents the ratio between the first two columns (the number successfully registered divided by the total number of registration attempts). To certain degree it expresses the average level of theoretical knowledge in given country (although many countries are handicapped by the language barrier)
media - number of websites, books, videos, documents, and other media links from given country in the Freediving Media Base
teams - number of teams (or freediving clubs) registered at ApneaBase.org. This feature is not yet widely used, so the data currently does not correlate to the real situation well
