Narrative:
While flying skydivers in a C208B on a northbound jump run, ZMA told me to stay below 14500 ft. Another airplane was in my path of flight at 15000 ft swbound. While dropping the skydivers I was not paying attention to my altitude and after a while found myself in a climb at 14800 ft. The other airplane had to divert from his flight path. I believe he was warned by his TCASII.
