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.

Brilliant week deep south
I dived deep south itinerary which was great, really loved the channel dives and Fuvamulah especially. Great dives. We were a full boat of 28 which felt busy on the smaller sites around Gan but was not an issue on the rest, with groups dropping in different areas. The trip does 19 dives and 17 are included, not had that before where you pay extra dives, would prefer it was all included tbh. The staff and the owner were all fantastic and incredibly helpful❤️

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 😘

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!

The best liva
The owner of the vessel (Shahid) joined us on the boat, what a wonderful, friendly and kind man! We saw Whale shark, Manta rays, Frog fish, Turtles, Eagle rays, Night dives with sharks and so much more! I will most definitely go back to Soleil 2, as a matter of fact we're going next year again... This was truly an experience and time I will treasure for the rest of my life! Thank you so much Shahid and the Soleil 2 team! We'll see you next year.
