if the rubber the suit is made of is heavier than water (and most are) then the suit will sink with any amount of water in in or no water at all
however, you have to have no air in it
even a small amount of air will keep the suit afloat
to sink the average density of the whole suit has to be heavier than water
the suit itself is probably a little heavier than water (if it is not, if the rubber of the suit is less dense than water then you cannot make it sink by adding water, you have to add something heavier)
so, if you could throw a few lead weights in first it would be easier, but if you can only use water, it won't matter how much water you put in so long as you get out ALL the air

it totally depends on how much buoyancy the suit has without the water.
the amount of water would vary from one suit to the next.
