Aquaseal works, but the definitive adhesive is neoprene cement. It works fast and it completely seals the joint. You need a clean joint with sharp edges, so trim everything with a razor blade, paint on the cement, and squeeze together. You can further add some stitching if your booties are laminated fabric over neoprene; if they are just neoprene, the stitching can contribute to a new tear. You can also use neoprene cement to glue the two surfaces together and then coat the inside with Aquaseal; this helps if it's at a point where there's a right-angle joint (like between the sole and the upper) but for other rips it probably isn't necessary.
