Of course, a proper weight check for your divers would alleviate the need to carry extra. I don't have my DMs carry any extra weight on dives.

Divers may be actively looking to play with their weighting and/or may have just switched out gear. There isn't enough time in some dives to do a weight check every time someone adds or removes a bit if gear or a suit. Heck I carry at least an extra pound just in case, and I'm not DMing.
