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.

Memorable diving trip with Soleil 2!!
We enjoyed diving with Soleil 2 in November 2025. The weather was not very good but the team tried their best to make each and every dive interesting and exciting. Our dive master Ele was amazing! Overall we would recommend it to fellow divers.

Excellent diving with friendly guides and crew
We were lucky to see most of the large marine creatures that Maldives has to offer - whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins, stingrays, nurse sharks, white tip sharks, and grey reef sharks, all in a space of 6 days of diving. Our guides Aslam, Faya, Kiko and Kimi were very knowledgeable of the sites and the sea conditions, hence greatly increasing our chances of sighting these creatures. We will be back again.

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
