Our Dropzone
Our Dropzone
Skydive Western Province – formerly Skydive Robertson, and originally Skydive Citrusdal – is a friendly skydiving club that has been flying for more than 50 years, and the longest running Parachute Association of South Africa (PASA) approved dropzone in South Africa. After many years at Robertson Airfield, the club now operates from Diepkloof Airfield, just off the N7 north of Malmesbury and 50 minutes to an hour from Cape Town. We fly Cessna aircraft and an Angel, and on a clear day the view from altitude takes in Table Mountain, Blouberg, Paarl Rock and Kasteelberg.
The club operates every second weekend, weather permitting, and runs a First Time Jump (FTJ) course on those weekends depending on demand. Tandem skydives, run with our partners Mother City Skydiving, are available every day of the week. Weekday jumps for licensed skydivers are reserved for current jumpers with a valid B-licence or higher. If you would like to jump during the week, please get in contact with us to arrange it.
The club welcomes everyone, from first-timers to sports jumpers of all levels and disciplines. If you want to learn to skydive yourself, start with our First Time Jump (FTJ) course: ground school followed by your first static line jump, after which you can continue through our Static Line Progression towards your licence.
We recommend bringing your own food and drinks, but there is a petrol station at the entrance where food, snacks and drinks can be bought. If you are staying the night, bring food for a braai, a cooler box and camping chairs, and come and enjoy the atmosphere of a lively dropzone.
Visiting Diepkloof
Diepkloof Airfield is just off the N7, about 16 km north of Malmesbury and 50 minutes to an hour’s drive from Cape Town. Look for the Astron Energy petrol station on the left of the N7 coming from Malmesbury – the airfield gate is at the back of the petrol station. Full directions are on our homepage.
Many of our members camp at the dropzone over club weekends, and you are very welcome to stay over and join us around the braai. The dropzone has a braai area, toilets and a shower, and a fridge with cold drinks for sale.
Just before the airfield gate there is a garage selling snacks, coffee and food, as well as a Steers and a Vida e Caffè.
