If he's open on the subject matter, some non-diving ideas:
Kite Runner - good, but sad
The Omnivore's Dilemma - sounds like it'd be boring, but I thought it was really good
If you happen to be going to Australia - "In a Sunburned Country" is funny (but it's an old book)

White Divers of Broome.... my history is full of sad racist decisions and this tells the story of one of them... and again, the white anglo english aussies got their butts kicked by the migrants!!! 
and Stokers Submarine. its about the creation of our submarine corp during ww1 and how we (the aussies) were the 1st country to break into the turkish stronghold, the scuttling of the AE2 and its recent discovery

Don't know if your hubby likes Nelson Demille, but pretty much anything he writes is awesome; Plum Island, Gold Coast (my favorite), Up Country, etc.
I also read Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield. It's about the battle of Thermopylae and it was AWESOME. I also like some of WEB Griffin's presidential agent series. I can go on and on. The others have covered some of my favorite diving books. But I would add Caverns Measureless to Man if he is intersted in caving.

If you want something light and funny...or at least I though so, try "Hiding on the Bottom", the misadventures of a diver. Written by an friend of mine and all the stories are true and I think many of us can relate to a lot of his misadventures. Hiding on the Bottom by James Rosemond (Book) in Humor
