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.

Relaxed and very safe liveaboard
Despite the covid crisis beginning to hit many countries, the trip went as planned very smoothly. The cruise director helped every one at the end of the cruise with their travel plans as the Maldives got locked down by the end of our week, I was very grateful for all the assistance he provided. The boat is Maldivian owned and very well managed. Great crew and very experienced dive guides showing us the best of the Maldives. I definitely recommand this boat and I hope to be back someday.

Wonderful dive experience with a secret dive site.
This was not our first dive experience in the Maldives.We like the professionalism of the dive guides, the spacious rooms on the boot. This was the biggest room I have eved had on liveaboard. We visited the popular dive sites around Male and Ari atolls with a secret dive site which made our trip unique. My partner celebrated her 100th dives during the trip and the staff surprised us with a nice cake for celebration. It was an attentive gusture from them. Thank you Soleil for the one week dive experience.

Highly recommended experience onboard the Soleil 2
This was my first experience trying a live aboard dive boat. I would highly recommend the Soleil 2 because it was a very positive and rewarding experience. As a newer diver, with under 100 dives, I found the channel dives with medium to strong currents quite challenging, but the experienced dive masters were there to literally hold my hand and make sure I had both a safe and fun experience. There is a lot to see and enjoy in the Maldives and we were all impressed with the efficiency, camaraderie and hard work of this crew! Under the leadership of Shahid, the boat owner, the crew worked very hard every day to ensure a top-notch guest experience, from dive safety to great meals to excellent customer service at every turn. Highly recommend!
