I am very puzzled by all of the inflateable suit questions I see here
I don't even know exactly what an inflateable suit is
you cannot answer this question unless you know several things
you need to know the volume of the suit when it is inflated, and you need to know the mass of you and the suit
we can assume that the 500 cubic feet of helium you are talking about is 500 ft^3 at standard temperature and pressure
when you pump it into a suit, it may be much less than 500 cub ft if the suit stretches and thus the helium is pressurized
all bouyancy "float" calculations come down to the same thing
is the weight of the object greater than the weight of the water it will displace
for submersilble objects, the amount of water displaced is the same as the volume of the object
so, you and your wierd suit will float if the weight of you and your suit is less than 8.3 lbs for every gallon of suit volume
if you know how big the suit is inflated, in gallons, or cubic feet, or whatever, and you know how much you and the suit weigh (you can neglect the weight of the helium, its not enough to matter) then you can see if your average density is more or less than water
if you weigh more than water, you sink, less you float

Only if you and the suit weigh less than 31 pounds.
This is the buoyant force of 500 cubic feet of helium.
Air weighs 1200 g per cubic meter. Helium 178.6
The difference in the densities allows you to calculate the buoyant force. Those densities are at standard temperature and pressure, but at the same temp and press, all gases occupy the same volume, so to the limit that your suit can expand, it will compensate. At a certain altitude, if the suit can't expand further, and can't pop, you'll stop rising.
I have a picture somewhere of a guy floating around in an aluminum lawn chair to which are tied many bunches of large helium-filled ballons. Under the picture, the guy explains that he visited his girlfriend in this rig.

I wouldn't worry about floating, I'd worry about dying from breathing in pure helium.
One thousand cubic feet of the 98.2 percent pure helium produced at Amarillo could lift approximately 64½ pounds.
In other words unless your about 30 lbs. no.

500 cubic feet is a whole LOT of suit. I'd say that it wouldn't matter if you floated or not, because you'd be dead from asphyxiation!

there are such numerous diverse cultures that fall below the umbrella term Muslim. It like lumping each form Christianity at the same time and asking what they placed on. besides diverse sects of Islam having diverse regulations bearing directly to clothing, the individuals who prepare it come from all corners of the globe and gown in a diverse way counting on what the norms are the place they stay. Norms additionally fluctuate counting on the area like while you're outdoors of the homestead or interior the homestead or individuals of the different gender are latest.

Yes you probably might float but I doubt you would realize it since you would probably be dead from the pressure of the of the gas smashing you inside the suit.

Unsure... It would probably depend upon how much you weigh...?

it depends on how much you weigh. if you're light, it may work.
