You liked the fish pedicure<\/em><\/a> ? You will love the shrimp manicure<\/em> ! Beware, this privilege is reserved for the rather aquatic travelers, who are not afraid to entrust their nails to the good care of the delicate cleaning shrimps.

Get your nails done... underwater!<\/h2>\n\n\n\nI kept this picture for later. For the end of the story of my Indonesian trip to Flores and Bali<\/a>...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But in solidarity with the travel bloggers who are taking up the challenge Adventure, manicure and pedicure<\/a>on the initiative of Adeline, from the blog Travel etc.<\/a>I decided to publish it today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do I put this... we're right on topic!!!! No ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about a shrimp manicure?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Admire this cute shrimp, bravely looking me straight in the eye to make sure it's doing a good job on my cuticles, softened by a long immersion in 28\u00b0C tropical salt water...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I photographed her during one of my dives in Bali, near Tulamben. A dive for the \"little one\", at a cleaning station, as we say in our diving jargon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cleaning station<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The fish - especially moray eels and big red groupers, during this dive - come to this type of site to get rid of their parasites and dirt by the nice shrimp, hard to the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These brave little crustaceans are not too particular about the scales they are presented with. The cleaning shrimps come willingly to work on the nails of humans ...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just reach out your hand, put your fingers on the sand and don't move. Hop, the shrimp dance begins! They run their tiny paws all over the surface of your nails, insisting in the corners, spotting and erasing the tiniest imperfections. High-precision work...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about a shrimp manicure?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The most motivated divers even take off their regulator for a few seconds (the thing you put in your mouth to breathe) to present their mouths wide open, like groupers, to the hard-working shrimps. There are often one or two, more daring, who then launch into an underwater scaling, quite comical to observe... And which stops as soon as the regulator is put back in place (one has to breathe again).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ladies, I can't recommend you enough to try the shrimp manicure<\/em> during your next swim in the tropical sea ...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
