ok so im supposed to go diving in the morning before the dive shops will open, and i just tried to inflate my bcd just on a whim because i havent dove it in a few weeks and its got a about a 3/8" slit in it??? i was told to maybe just duct tape and not over inflate at all on the surface so it doesn't stretch the bladder. i am recreational diving with a dry suit so its not like im gonna sink if it pops, just wondering if any one has any ideas for a quick patch, or am i complete eager dumb a$$ for trying to patch it and dive.

I'm going with the latter ... I wouldn't dive with a patch.

Ditto. I would call the dive. Get the BC to your LDS and get it repaired.
