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.

Great South Maldives Shark experiences!
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.

Beautiful Cruising and Diving in the Southern Maldives
We had an excellent time aboard Soleil-2. The boat crew and the dive crew were first rate and receptive and accommodating to our needs. The diving was superb with mantas, eagle rays and uncountable sharks.

Amazing experience
Amazing experience!!! Very kind staff. We have see many kind fish. 한국분을 위한 리뷰 남겨요. 스태프들이 엄청 친절하고 배 자체의 시스템이 다이빙을 위한 최적이에요. 다만 인터넷 잘 안되서 공항에서 심카드 사 가지고 오시고, 입국 위한 pcr테스트도 스태프들이 미리 다 맞춰주니 걱정 안하셔도 될듯합니다. 다이빙을 위해서는 가성비가 좋은 배라고 생각합니다. 강추합니다
