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.

An unforgetable, awesome trip !!!
I just spend a wonderful week on Soleil 2. Everyone on board did their best to make this trip a memorable one. The dive guides took their time to explain the various dive sides and showed us everything they saw under water - except for the hammerhead sharks who hadn't appearded in the blue! The food was delicious , the cabin very spacious and clean. Thank you very much for this experience! Dagmar

Best diving and overall experience
The dive sites chosen by the crew where really great. The crew is formed by Maldivians who are really nice and friendly. The guides really enjoy diving so they really make it good for you on every dive. The food is quite good. In maldives you will see lofs of fish, sharks, turtles and Mantas!!

Maldive Grand Sud: a very rich experience by the diversity and quantity of "big fish" that you come across there:)
Very nice stay on a comfortable boat and with quality service on board. But above all, enthusiastic dive guides who seek to surprise us with beautiful discoveries.

- The systematic presence of whale sharks at the back of the boat at nightfall. Dive guides very eager to make us discover new species. Comfort of the boat.

Amazing experience
Amazing experience!!! Very kind staff. We have see many kind fish. 한국분을 위한 리뷰 남겨요. 스태프들이 엄청 친절하고 배 자체의 시스템이 다이빙을 위한 최적이에요. 다만 인터넷 잘 안되서 공항에서 심카드 사 가지고 오시고, 입국 위한 pcr테스트도 스태프들이 미리 다 맞춰주니 걱정 안하셔도 될듯합니다. 다이빙을 위해서는 가성비가 좋은 배라고 생각합니다. 강추합니다

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.
