You push off from Dubrovnik's Old Town with the city wall shrinking behind you and the Adriatic opening wide. The speedboat cuts through glassy blue; cliffs and pine-scarred islets slide into view. Wind tugs at your hat, the sea dares you to dive, and the first cave entrance promises cool, blue shadow.
