Lippman's book, "Deeper into Diving," Best Publishing (I think), has a pretty
good discussion of multilevel dive planning using tables.  One thing to keep in
mind is that the US Navy tables aren't so good for multilevel dives.  This is
because the repetitive groups are based solely on the 120 minute tissue
loading, which may not be the controlling tissue for short deep segments of a
dive.

Your best bet for multilevel planning is to get a computer implementation of a
decompression model such as are found in dive planning programs now commercially
available.  Some of these were reviewed in a recent Aquacorps entitled
"Computing" (#6, I think).  Of course, you could just buy a dive computer!
