It really depends on the puncture on the tube. If the puncture is a small, approx. round hole, then you have something sticking out and poking the tube. From you seem to be suggesting about a "dip," I'd hazard a guess you have double wall rims. If so, and the tube looks like it's been cut along the side, then you may need to make sure the tape fully covers all the holes and then has at least a couple mm on each side so the tube has no chance of squeezing by the tape along the side. This may mean you need wider tape. Check the rim around that area for burrs too.
