Unless you are attached to the vessel, you will not get sucked down by any suction caused by the vessel going down. You may temporarily go under the water but only for a second or so. Different people float differently. Those with low body fat will not float as easy as someone with a higher fat content. If you have a life jacket on, (as you should), you will float around.
I have 20 years as a Boatswains Mate in the US Coast Guard and have never heard of a person being "sucked down" by a sinking vessel.
What else can I help you with?
What is a hull on a boat?
The hull on a boat is the body of it. It is watertight so that no water leaks in and sinks the boat.
Why does the water level go down when a boat sinks?
When a boat is floating on water it displaces water equal to its weight(Archimedes Principle). As the density of water is less than boat so water displaced is greater than volume of boat. When the boat sinks water displaced is equal to volume of boat. So less water is displaced in 2nd case and consequently water level goes down. Note - relation between volume(v) mass(m) and density(d) : d = m/v
How much weight can a boat hold before it sinks?
It depends on the size of the boat.
How do you estimate the number of persons allowed on a boat?
If the boat sinks, too many people are on it.

The steel boat has more bouyancy because it is mostley filled with air as with the steel ball it is dence and heavy so it sinks
Why does a boat float but a nail sinks?
A boat floats because the weight of the water it displaces is equal to the weight of the boat, creating buoyant force. A nail sinks because its density is greater than that of water, causing it to be heavier than the water it displaces.
Are paper boats reliable?
Not always, water gets in and sinks the boat.
