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.

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.

Professional and caring dive guides
Great Maldivan dive guides! They were professional and try hard to found something amazing to the guests. They even arranged a crew member to wait for the whaleshark coming to the backside of the boat! When every guest was asleep at 12:00am, they knocked on every door to let you know the whalesharks just came and make sure you can saw those massive gentle creatures. It was so amazing! The crew was slso very helpful and nice!

Fantastic Diving Experience
I had an amazing week on Soleil 2 in December 2022, exploring dive sites in Central Maldives. The crew were very friendly and professional. They picked good dive sites and did a good job with guiding. They grouped divers based on experience level, which is something I really appreciated. We saw lots of sharks (almost every dive!), manta rays, eagle rays, turtles, and all sorts of fish and reef life. The boat is good condition. I had cabin #8 for myself and it was massive; probably the biggest cabin I’ve ever had on a liveaboard. There is a mini market onboard where you can find all sorts of things, even SD cards! And all for a reasonable price. The crew organized a barbecue night on a tiny tropical island, which happened to coincide with my birthday. They were kind enough to prepare a cake for me and arrange a mini celebration. It was very nice of them. All in all, I had a fantastic week on Soleil 2, and I’m hoping to dive with them again in the future.
