Does it have hole in the handle for use in attaching to your coiled lanyard or how do you otherwise attach that glass?

There is a hole in the end of the handle. I put a small stainless steel ring thru it and attach to a D-ring on the harness. I also use one of those small ponytail holders to keep it against me so as to be more streamlined. I get asked often on boat trips about it and when underwater the DM's were always asking to borrow it, so I bought quite a few extras to give out as gifts. so far it had held up well in the salt water.
 
At 85 euro ($110 USD) this underwater magnifying glass isn't cheap, but it appears to be thoughtfully engineered, tested, and improved. I'm thinking about ordering one. Feel free to chime in if you've seen one in the wild.

I just started carrying a magnifying glass and LOVE it! I found a very cheap, all plastic one ($2 in Mexico) and it works great. Everyone wanted to borrow it to see the little painted elysian, so go ahead and call me Mr. Magoo!
 
Thanks bluesteel, none of mine have a hole in them, so have been thinking of tubing over the end of the handle but that's really not going to be the most effective. I too have given a number of them away in years past.
