This is a fun read. A tad dated since in the last few years there have been some new studies done, but still an awesome book

I was thinking more about a pdf than a kindle version.

I have my copy as e-book for Kobo Reader. I can't recall how or where I bought it. I went to the editor's website Aquapress.co.uk and it seems that it´s no longer available. I also seen that in Amazon it's only as paper.

The NOAA Diving Manual is comprehensive and provides great fundamentals for scuba diving. Best Publishing Company - NOAA Diving Manual

Another interesting book is “Deep Into Deco: The Diver's Decompression Textbook, Revised Edition”. I have the first edition and it is interesting how’s many different deco algorithms there are. The author used to be on scubaboard, he might still be around if you need an ebook.

Deco Procedures is great! I'd also look at some of the modern conversations around decompression theory. You can start by watching some of the following Youtube Videos:

Also read articles like Alert Diver | Gradient Factors and others from Shearwater on Gradiant factors and how they are used to manage stops in relation to percentage of M value.

Even if you don't do Tec diving, this line of study, and more, will be very insightful and will help you learn a lot more.
