as suggested in an earlier post, the latest bennett & elliot (4th ed. 
physiology and medicine of diving) is a collection of review articles 
with thousands of references to the literature. check out vann and 
thalmann's work, et-seq.

if i was in eau claire, i'd drive down to uw madison for a day.
they have whatever you are looking for in the stacks or on-line. 
lots of physiological research took place at the biotron. lanphier's been 
working on diving physiology for 40 years.... 

then, head east to racine. johnson worldwide associates is hq'd 
there. they own scubapro usa. mark walsh is the in-house deco modeler.

finally, i see a big difference between published deco theory and deco 
schedule calculations. the two heads don't seem to talk to each other in 
publicly 
available algorithms. a vague recollection of high school math and a 
spread sheet can produce buhlmann-like tables. then, if you
wiggle parameters, you are a deco modeler. whether there is any relation 
to the reality of dci prevention is anybody's guess.

start with the review articles for the big picture--then go to journal 
articles for details.  

good luck, em
