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.

Brilliant week deep south
I dived deep south itinerary which was great, really loved the channel dives and Fuvamulah especially. Great dives. We were a full boat of 28 which felt busy on the smaller sites around Gan but was not an issue on the rest, with groups dropping in different areas. The trip does 19 dives and 17 are included, not had that before where you pay extra dives, would prefer it was all included tbh. The staff and the owner were all fantastic and incredibly helpful❤️

Great experience and great cabins

Fantastic week
This was a really good week. we saw everything possible, apart from a hammer shark. The whale shark came to the boat on the first night, which was a bonus and a great way to start the week. The boat is comfortable, and the master cabins on the main deck are massive! The crew is polite, friendly and they know what they are doing. Shahid (the boat owner) edited a comprehensive diving footage at the end, which was handy! I would highly recommend this boat, and especially the deep-south itinerary.

Excellent for my first liveaboard experience with Solei II
This is my first liveaboard experience, I'm so happy to be with Soleil II in Maldives. The cabin is very spacious with great facilities. and all the crew members are very friendly, they helped me to setup diving equipment before each diving. My diving guide Yoann is also a lovely guy, he's very professional and made me a safe and great diving experience in Maldives. Thanks Soleil II!

Excellent diving with friendly guides and crew
We were lucky to see most of the large marine creatures that Maldives has to offer - whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins, stingrays, nurse sharks, white tip sharks, and grey reef sharks, all in a space of 6 days of diving. Our guides Aslam, Faya, Kiko and Kimi were very knowledgeable of the sites and the sea conditions, hence greatly increasing our chances of sighting these creatures. We will be back again.
