Steve,
     Bouyancy is a function of displacement. As long as your inflation gas
is not lost your bouyancy will remain the same regardless of how much water
is in your suit. Of course this does nothing to address the hypothermia
problems this will cause but if you're using well maintained heavy
thinsulate and argon this will be minimized.
