If by increase drag, you mean slow the descent, then generally use a larger canopy. If that's not what you mean, then I have no idea.

Do sky divers go up when a parachute opens?

Sky divers do not go up, but they do undergo deceleration due to the increased drag incurred by the parachute being suddenly opened. Since skydivers, when being filmed by a cameraman, release their parachute first, there is a relative acceleration between the cameraman and the skydiver, creating the illusion that the skydiver is travelling up.

How do sky driver increase drag?

Skydivers can increase drag by changing their body position to create more surface area exposed to the air, such as by spreading their limbs or arching their back. They can also deploy their parachute, which creates a large amount of drag as it catches the air. Additionally, wearing loose-fitting clothing or using additional drag devices like drogues can increase drag during freefall.
