I just added another section to the statistics page of my website, showing the numbers of registered freedivers on individual continents. The total number of APNEA.cz members is 1536 (as of today), so it is already a rather nice sample. The only problem is that countries where English, French, or Czech languages are not common, are under-represented because the users have to pass a relatively strict test, which may not be easy if they do not understand the questions well. For that reason I just added another column that shows also the number of users who attempted to register, but failed (mostly because of the theory test).
So in the first column, there is the total number of users (both registered and failed registrations), in the second column you can see the numbers of successfully registered members. The third column shows then the success rate. The other columns are for the number of media and links in the Freediving Media Base, and for the number of teams/clubs created at APNEA.cz.
The success rates are rather interesting. Rather astonishing for me is the difference between the USA with only 34% successful registrations, and their neighbour, Canada with 65% - almost the double. There are also other remarkable nations, like for example Denmark with 71%. Some nations further below have even better results, but the number of users is already quite low to be reliably representative.
Perhaps even more interesting are the success rates at continents - I admit that quite surprising for me is the high level at African freedivers. On the other hand the quite low rate in South America was to be expected, especially because of the language barrier. Perhaps I should add a Spanish (and Portuguese) localization too. If any volunteer is interested in translating, let me know. But be aware that there is a lot of work, and no budget available for it
If the numbers interest you, you can look at them on the website at APNEA.cz - Site Statistics - please note that the page is long to load (around 30s). I attach also two screenshots below, so that you can glance at it quicker here.
