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.

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.

We really enjoyed our first Liveaboard in Maldives. Lots of shark and ray encounters and our guide was very kind and attentive even with more challenging dives.

Best trip of my life, I have travelled the world to dive but I would never imagine to experience something similar to what this liveaboard offered me. The boat was spectacular, way better than the pho
Every single day was better than the one before, I don’t know how they have managed to keep on surprising us everyday with something new different and exciting. The diving was spectacular but the bbq on the beach, last dinner on the rooftop, the sandbank trip, I could go on forever. Best trip of my life, I will repeat it very soon! Highly recommended not only to divers.
