adurso:. . .Weight does not enter into the calculation because weight is not a constant. Mass is the constant, mass remains the same under water, in space or at 1ATA.

Actually, (we say that before we disagree ) weight does enter the calculations. As soon as the the lifting force exits the water, weight slows the assent. The lifting forces in this case is the BCD, so when the BCD leaves the water, gravity effects the mass of the diver and all their gear.
