Plaster repair

Well the other day while in my pool, I stepped in a weak area and the plaster gave way. It actually felt like there was nothing supporting the plaster when I stepped down. The pool doesn't seem to be leaking any water thankfully but I do want to get this hole fixed as I can see the kids getting their feet cut on the concrete underneath this.

The hole is about 3" in diameter but am sure it will grow more once I chip away the rest of the weak points. Attached is a picture of the area. I am thinking about repairing it myself but it is under 39" of water. I have read underwater repair can be done but the thought of holding my breath and trying to fill in this hole isn't all that appealing. Has anyone dealt with this in the past and what would you folks best recommend for the fix?

Looks like the plaster delaminated ... I am going to guess that you will find a much larger area where this is a problem.
Might want to start to consider a full resurfacing.
 
It's a bubble/delamination of the plaster from the gunite. I would drain and repair it properly. Anything you try underwater is just going to look like a mess.
