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.

Incredible experience
Diving with tiger sharks, mantas and whale sharks. Amazing fish life on every reef. Incredible wall dives with tons of sharks. Boat owner and crew were amazing and super helpful and friendly, even in a period where the covid-19 was affecting their business. Food on the boat was very delicious as well!

Great Value
This is a very large dive boat with lots of deck room to spread out on. I think getting a balcony room was worth it. Great dive guides and lots of marine life! No whale sharks on this trip, but tons of mantas and sharks. Some of the best diving of my life!

Fantastic Travel of Liveaboard experience
2번째 Soleil 2 리브어보드 여행이었습니다. 미리 예약하지 못해 발코니 캐빈을 예약 못해서 너무 아쉬웠지만, Soleil 2의 모든 다이빙과 6박7일간의 일정은 매우 훌륭하다고 생각됩니다. 한국인들에게 음식또한 거부감 있지 않게 잘 나왔고, 꽉찬 다이빙 스케쥴과 여러 일정들이 너무 좋았습니다. 매우 추천드리고 싶은 몰디브 리브어보드와 Soleil 2 입니다.

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.

Really wonderful crew, always happy to make the day. Help you and keep you relaxed under water. Great food, tip to improve: more vega(n) options. I loved the Maldivian breakfast with tuna and roshi 👌🏽. Will definitely promote Soleil-2 and keep diving :)

Another unforgettable safari
How to come home - our second safari with the Soleil 2 - and it's like coming home, everyone is so mega nice and you feel so welcome and everything is just perfect here, the people, the boat, the food - we are not for nothing already the second time on board and although the same tour still experienced many new dive sites - absolute highlight: night dive with whale shark and manta rays 😍, we will definitely come a third time again 😍 thanks to the great crew 😘
