Decompression would be covered better by physiology than by physics.

Try Buhlmann's book on Decompression.

Here is a nice site which explains some of the things that may interest you about deco theory:

You can also find in the web lots of papers from Bruce Wienke about RGBM models.

There's a book called "Diving Science" that explains a range of topics that I found interesting. You can probably find at Chapters and look at it before you buy it.

Weinke's stuff is about as good as you can get if you can do the math, otherwise have a look at the Technical diving encyclopedia by Tom Mount.
