Yeah, "complete loss" if you just stayed at depth till it emptied, but I assume you'd start ascending if and when the BC was punctured. The expanding air in the BC would still work for bouyancy as long as you kept heading up. Once on the surface and facing a long swim back to the boat or beach you'd probably have to dump your weight belt.
