Without gravity, there would be no atmosphere to skydive in (or breathe!). All the air would simply disperse into space. The pull of gravity gets weaker, the further you are from the Earth, however this is not noticeable by a skydiver jumping from 15,000ft. Gravity helps the air to stay close to the earth. This air can be manipulated to turn, move forwards & backwards, increase and decrease freefall speeds, remain stable and of course help to deploy the parachute.
So yes gravity is vitally important to skydiving and life.

What motion of a falling object when only gravity is acting?
The only way to describe an object where it is only affected by gravity is the say it is in Free Fall. This is really not possible but is often misinterpreted when skydiving but the wind is pushing up on your body. The only way this happens is if there is no friction. The ISS (International Space Station) is said to be in free fall but its motion is a combination of inertia and gravity.
What does it mean when a body falls freely in air?
When a body experiences free fall, it technically means that it only feels 1 force: gravity. Since this does not exist within earth's atmosphere, many people use the term casually when referring to feeling only gravity and wind resistance, such as in skydiving.
