I don't know where you can see a photo online, but if you check at your nearest medical school library they might have diving medicine or dermatology texts with photos. I know there are photos in Carl Edmonds' "Diving and Subaquatic Medicine".

The following photo is not of "skin bends" nor is it an adult subject, but it is much what patches of cutaneous DCS look like:

Doc,

The fist link that you pointed to. That looked like my nephew's skin when he coughed a hole in his lung during an asthma attack. Is that what that photo was from?

Not certain of the source of the photo, but I very much suspect that it's of an infant with a not uncommon nonpathological marbling of skin.
During the first months of life, the immaturity of the nerve supply to the superficial capillaries of skin can cause vessels in some areas to dilate (the reddish areas), while others are contracting (the pale spots).
Obviously the distal cause of cutis marmorata in cutaneous DCS is a different one.
Best regards.
