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 crew, great dives, awesome trip
I had a really great experience. Everything goes smoothly. All the crew know his job perfectly and take care constantly. The food is really good and you feel like home on the boat. Rooms are confortable and cleaned when it's needed. Definitly worth the price. No need to spend more if you just want to dive in great conditions and with nice people. And Sahid (owner) and all the divemasters give good vibes all the way long and makes you feel safe.

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.

outstanding boat and cruise experience; a more exploring dive approach would have been perfect
the cruise worked like a clockwork, with a shinny new boat and its huge relaxation space to disperse so that we did not feel crowded. the diving cruise general organization is very good, with a well aligned day schedule, the donny ready on time. worked without a glitch. rental material is in excellent status and covers all the needs one might have. one low light though is while many dive are done in current, which is the name of the game in Maldives, the channels dives particularly were limited to reaching the entrance of the channel, somewhat, hook there and watch without exploration. once the bottom time is used up, it is essentially unhook and go up. perfect to take picture of sharks but not my expectation at diving
