Was the force he had to use equal to the force he would use if he lifted it on earth, in the open air... Just guessing as you see ... Did he lift something that was ~ boyant in water?... Which, in the open air, would weigh about 180kg?

You have practically solved the riddle. He lifted the weight immersed under the water.

Too late. I was about to suggest a fork-lift.
