No. The ladder's mass and therefore weight does not change just because it is now surrounded by a different medium. If anything, it will feel lighter, as water is denser than air, but this is only a change in the perception of its weight and not the weight itself.
Before use, perform a thorough inspection and look for damage, bent rungs, grease on tread, defective feet, etc. Follow the labels on the ladder and the owner's manual. If you don't have the manual you can download a copy from the manufacturer's website. When you set the ladder, keep clear of electrical lines, Lean the ladder against the structure at a 4:1 (with your toes at the base of the ladder, your fingertips should touch the ladder with your arms extended). Check that the surface is firm and level. If the ground is soft, you can lay down a plywood square so the ladder won't sink. Check that the ladder won't kick out. If you are on hard pavement, ensure that the feet have the rubber tread down. Some ladders have "claws" on the feet that can be flipped to bite into the dirt. Extend the ladder so that it is between 3 and 4 feet above the top of the structure if you need to step off the ladder onto a roof. Secure the top of the ladder to the structure with a rope, strap or chain so the top won't slide. Maintain 3 points of contact while you climb. Always climb facing the ladder. Don't overload the ladder. Add your weight and what you are carrying up the ladder. Never put 2 people on the ladder at the same time.
