The Soleil 2 is a liveaboard in the Maldives that accommodates 28 guests in 14 air-conditioned cabins with en-suite bathrooms with hot showers. There is an air-conditioned indoor dining area, and on the top deck, the is open-air covered seating for guests who want to dine under the stars. There are air-conditioned saloons and a large sun deck for relaxing in between dives or enjoying the sunset views. The diving takes place from a Dhoni equipped with compressors and dive gear storage to maximize the space on board and keep the liveaboard as quiet as possible.
The Soleil 2 sails through Central, Northern, and Southern Atolls. In the Northern atolls, mantas and whale sharks come to feed on the plankton in Hanifaru Bay. The Northern and Southern atolls are more popular among experienced divers. While diving the deep South route, guests can go on a night dive with whale sharks, manta rays, and nurse sharks. Divers can encounter something special on every dive, from turtles to Napoleon wrasse and reef sharks.

Hope these tips would be helpful：）
1.Prepare USD cash for the payment. Pay by card would charge 3.5% fee. Pay by Euro the exchange rate would be Euro：USD=1:1. Pay by MVR the rate is 1USD=20MVR（although the bank rate is about1:15） 2. They might allow divers had less than 50 dives experience on the boat. If someone troubles your dive, talk to the leader asap.

Incredible experience
Diving with tiger sharks, mantas and whale sharks. Amazing fish life on every reef. Incredible wall dives with tons of sharks. Boat owner and crew were amazing and super helpful and friendly, even in a period where the covid-19 was affecting their business. Food on the boat was very delicious as well!

Memorable diving trip with Soleil 2!!
We enjoyed diving with Soleil 2 in November 2025. The weather was not very good but the team tried their best to make each and every dive interesting and exciting. Our dive master Ele was amazing! Overall we would recommend it to fellow divers.

Great crew, great dives, awesome trip
I had a really great experience. Everything goes smoothly. All the crew know his job perfectly and take care constantly. The food is really good and you feel like home on the boat. Rooms are confortable and cleaned when it's needed. Definitly worth the price. No need to spend more if you just want to dive in great conditions and with nice people. And Sahid (owner) and all the divemasters give good vibes all the way long and makes you feel safe.
