No one's weighing things on the surface and the deep ocean, right?
I suspect the salt concentration reduces weight on the sea floor.
Not sure where the difference is offset if water can't be compressed.

Nope. Just increases density of the water - has no effect on the mass of an object or the gravitational pull on it. 33 foot depth of saltwater is about 34 foot of depth of freshwater is about 1atm pressure (14.7psi)
