The speedboat slips off the small dock at Mali Muo and the stone walls of Dubrovnik recede into a ribbon of orange-roofed buildings and chimneys. Salted wind pushes the boat forward; the sea dares you to dive in. Over the next eight hours you thread between low, karst islands—Koločep, Lopud and Šunj—finding caves that glow green and a blue cave that refracts sunlight into the hull.
