I may have a 14 day trip to Capetown(actually sitting there for 10 days) in June. I plan on doing some scuba diving out there, and if I could swing it I may hop over to do some skydiving one weekend....unfortunately, the boss won't let me just take the airplane over there...something about it costing too much...
Are there flights that go directly between the two cities?

Monday 12th April the plane will still be in Petermaritzburg, where the easter boogie is being held, so you can count that out...
Midweek, there's a possibility of a few of us going to Pretoria skydiving club. They have a C-185 (Narrow body C-182 taildragger) and only offer 10 000ft, but it would be worth it to share some airtime...
Petermaritzburg, 100km from Durban is open midweek by appointment, as is Skydive durban. If you're visiting your ex that's an option, but also only Cessna 182's. Skydive Cape Town is also operational midweek, with a Cessna 210, also only 10 000ft, and is 1400km from Johannesburg, and not on the way to anything else...
The one weekend at JSC should be OK, although it may be quiet as a result of everyone having spent all their money at the boogie.. but I'll be there. What kind of dives do you do? Maybe I can put you in touch with some people so you get OK Dives...

Hey Mike!!
Come up to Joburg and visit. There are flights all the time between Cape Town and JNB, pretty affordable especially if you go with a local carrier. We are definitely the best place to skydive in the country.
Let me know when you're coming anyway, and we'll hook you up with some cool people even if you just stay in CT.
