Narrative:
TCASII divert. Approaching byp VOR from the east on the byp arrival 4, we were told about traffic at 12 O'clock position about 1000 ft below us -- a cessna caravan jumper aircraft. We saw traffic then received a TCASII RA. We complied and did not turn toward the traffic over byp. We delayed our turn to join the 219 degree radial from byp to stay well clear of the jumping that would be in progress. Due to high workload in cockpit, we were unable to advise ATC. ATC queried if we were still on the arrival while we were correcting to rejoin the arrival. Remainder of flight was uneventful.
