Beautiful Cruising and Diving in the Southern Maldives. We had an excellent time aboard Soleil-2. The boat crew and the dive crew were first rate and receptive and accommodating to our needs. The diving was superb with mantas, eagle rays and uncountable sharks.”

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

Nice experience. It is my first liveaboard experience in the Maldives, in the Deep South route. The friendly staff made us feel right at home, sharing their expertise about the marine life we were about to encounter and ensuring every detail was taken care of. We were fortunate enough to spot majestic tiger sharks gliding through the blue waters, a sight that left us in awe. Also some playful dolphins joined our adventures, leaping and swimming alongside us, adding a sense of wonder to dive. We also encountered various other shark species, each more captivating than the last, which made for unforgettable underwater moments. The vibrant coral reefs were teeming with life, with colorful fish darting around, creating a mesmerizing backdrop to our dives. Each day brought new adventures, and the camaraderie among divers. Overall, this liveaboard experience was a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and connection with nature. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the breathtaking underwater world of the Maldives, all while being cared for by a fantastic team!”
