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.

I'll be back!
The whole 8 days on the boat were a highlight for me. I was really thrilled with everything and will definitely come back. Experiencing the night dives with manta rays and nurse sharks / reef sharks was unique. The crew is super organized and very helpful. They even found my GoPro lost during the dive in the sea:) All of them are a great team - but so are the friendly Italian divers on board. My balcony cabin was clean and the daily room service perfect. The food has always been a feast - the cooks are the grenade. Thanks to Fayaz and Gianni for the great dives!

Spacious cabins, Crazy night dives, Excellent value for money
Spacious boat - large relaxation areas, very large cabin (2 King Size Bed, bar fridge, large toilet). Experience guides that able to help guests handle very strong currents. Excellent dive sites - lots of sharks, fishes, turtles, octopus, whalesharks, etc. Owner always on boat to ensure everything OK. Very generous operator - allowed check out at 11 am, 3 pm and even 7 pm; provide meals even on check out day. Lots of food for the Christmas party (but limited quantity during other days) and crews put up an excellent local culture show. Must really experience this LOB - best I had so far. Will return

Best diving and overall experience
The dive sites chosen by the crew where really great. The crew is formed by Maldivians who are really nice and friendly. The guides really enjoy diving so they really make it good for you on every dive. The food is quite good. In maldives you will see lofs of fish, sharks, turtles and Mantas!!

An unforgetable, awesome trip !!!
I just spend a wonderful week on Soleil 2. Everyone on board did their best to make this trip a memorable one. The dive guides took their time to explain the various dive sides and showed us everything they saw under water - except for the hammerhead sharks who hadn't appearded in the blue! The food was delicious , the cabin very spacious and clean. Thank you very much for this experience! Dagmar
