Underwater magnifying glasses

Then why are guys so hesitant to go skinny dipping when the temperate water will magnify things?!

I have no problem skinny dipping in any water. Now, of course the cold will overtake the maginification by a long shot......er' short shot.

I have used the simple glass type mounted in a handle with a hoop to secure the lens--the kind you can buy at a stationer's shop. You cannot get the very cheapest plastic ones, but glass ones work okay if the lens is thick enough to provide at least 4x magnification. You cannot see a whole lot of detail with these, but at least you can *find* a pygmy seahorse on a fan. I would love to have a better one which would allow me to see the detail as well.

Certainly none of the guys here worry about anything like that...
