Kindred organisations

CIPS is the predecessor of Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques (CMAS) in respect to spearfishing. CMAS was founded in 1959 by national federations which at the time were members of the Comité des Sports Sous-Marins (Underwater Sports Committee) of CIPS.

Recognition

CIPS is a member of SportAccord. It is also one of the international sports federations that has agreed to comply with the World Anti-Doping Code which is overseen by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Controversies

In 2023, the CIPS enacted a ban on trans women from competing in the women's competition category, citing a perceived physical advantage at fishing. This decision was lambasted by some as 'absolutely discriminatory', while gender critical advocates hailed it as a victory for future generations.
