So I'm worried I'm done.

The Last Dive
Deep Descent
Fatal Depth
Neutral Buoyancy
The Helldiver's Rodeo
And, of course, all the various course material.

Is that it? There must be another one. I don't want to resort to this. Or just reading books on trimix blending or deco theory for "fun."

Sea Hunters II - Clive Clussler

Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea - can't remember the author but it's about The SS Central America. The story switches between the story of being on the ship and the sinking, a life time of research and technology to build a robot capable of recovery at the necessary depths, financing the excursion and searching for and recovering the gold.

I've also found a couple newer authors writing fiction with a diver as the main character in their series. Can be fun....

Thief of the Deep and Blackwolf by Jon Coon
and
Crash Dive by John McKinna


Descent into Darkness by Commander Edward C Raymer, USN
Very cool book. It's about the divers that were shipped out immediately upon learning of Pearl Harbor. Trying to rescue the men trapped in capsized ships, then resurrecting as many ships as possible. He was then shipped out to areas of action.
