Congratulations! I am a new diver as well.
Even if you dove in a saltwater pool the specific gravity is very much different than the ocean. Interesting enough, the specific gravity is different depending where in the ocean you are diving.
That said, saltwater pools and spas have minimum salt. The salt is used in these pools to generate chlorine. In my hot tub you can barely notice the saltiness. I think the ocean has about 10 times the salt.
