Answer

Lyn has given an accurate response, but I would add that a common alternative is to say "skydiving".  "I went skydiving", "I skydived last weekend", "I am going to skydive", "I am going to go skydiving", "I will do a tandem skydive", etc.

Answer

Neither of these is correct.  You would say "I'm going to do a parachute jump"

Answer

Hello Hafsa!
The verb for jumping out of a plane with a parachute is "to parachute".
For example:
I can "parachute".
or
I enjoy "parachuting" as a hobby.
or
I'm learning how to "parachute".
or 
I have "parachuted" before."
I hope that helps!
