How about letting down all the chambers adjacent to the suspect one (still fully inflated) then seeing which of the deflated ones self - inflates as it were.

Ear pressed against the tube can also help to detect where it is but you have probably tried that one too.

You sure it's a hole in the tube and not a dodgy valve?

That's unfortunate. Tim Griffin was complimenting a company (can't remember who) who paid his petrol and ferry to take the RIB back for repairs. Maybe you can….
Good luck.
