    I don't know what the repair kit you have is, but most kits tell you on the package if they can be used under water. Also not sure about your small/large patch question....
    Some kits come with blue vinyl similar to a liner, some with clear vinyl, some with self adhesive backing on clear vinyl.
    I have the clear vinyl with a separate tube of adhesive, can be done under water.
    Cut patch with nicely rounded corners, approximately 1/2" to 1" bigger than hole (all the way around), cover in adhesive, fold onto itself, go under water, you may want to use 2 people in deeper waters (one holding the other down) so buyancy is not a problem, unfold patch, place centered over hole, squeeze out excess air towards sides, press very firmly in place. Do not disturb for a few hours.
    You can set a heavy object on it if it's on the floor, this works very well.

    I go back to it after about 15 minutes and repress it good all the way around to help seal the edges well.
