Do humans have weight in the ocean?

Everything has weight, but when something is submerged in water, it experiences a buoyant force that counteracts weight. If this buoyant force is stronger than an object's weight, the object floats (conversely, if it is weaker, it sinks).

To calculate weight, multiply the mass of an object (in kilograms) by g, Earth's gravitational field at its surface (approximately 9.81 m/s/s).
To calculate buoyant force, multiply the density of the fluid in which the object is submersed (for water, this is approximately 1000 kg/m^3) by the volume of the object submersed (meaning ONLY the volume of the part that actually displaces fluid) by g.

Both results will carry the SI unit of force "Newtons."
