Here is my recommendation from last time this came up. Thread has some other good suggestions.

Books to consider about scuba diving

Not sure how "sciency" you are looking for but I enjoyed reading "Scuba Physiological: Think You Know All About Scuba Medicine? Think again! (The Scuba Series)", by Simon Pridmore, recently. It was accessible enough for my simple mind and makes good connections between the theory and real-life diving.

I had always been fond of The Essentials of Deeper Sports Diving, by John Lippmann; have had it on my shelf for decades.

The Australian was also a co-author of The DAN Emergency Handbook and Deeper Into Diving . . .

NOAA Diving Manual is a must for general 'scientific' info and tables, Bennett and Elliott's for diving medicine, Deco for divers by Mark Powell.

Cheap shot at someone with all of four posts in 'Basic Scuba'. That search will come up with a library.

I picked three titles for the OP, how about you offering three?
