Some sort of rib injury?

So i was out tubing with my friends on the lake today (we are a bunch of 17 year old boys so things get pretty insane). At one point I jumped a wake, caught about 10 feet of air, flew off, and then slammed into the water. I got the wind knocked out of me and felt a popping in my chest. Now my lower right rib looks like it has a dent it it and feels separated when I poke around.
The reason that I am not too concerned at this point is because i haven't felt any severe pain. I have broken bones before and this feels totally different, Its a very very very dull pain that almost feels like their is just a weight sitting on that point of my chest.
My father told me that it is a "floating rib" and that I should just wait to have it looked at until my physical next week. I dont plan on doing anything physical that could possibly damage it more until then, so is it okay if i wait? Or do I have an entirely different rib related problem.
