I use something like this to hold my security badge for work. About the
diameter of a quarter. I had just assumed the spring would quickly rust in
salt water, but now that I see they make them for fishing, it may be an
ideal solution! The string is also fine enough you could probably break it
if it was standing between you and entrapment.
