Deco for divers should be required material for DM IMHO. Since you mentioned you like the science aspect, Wienke's books are good information. Not the easiest to read but he is doing some of the most current research.
As you have looked at becoming an instructor, you should at least get the books for Tec and read them. They have a good base of knowledge that is nice to have.
Depending on $$ you may want to get a couple OW and DM books from various agencies. While the actual content is very similar across the board, the delivery method is a bit different. This can help you later while teaching. Plus different takes on the same subject can make you more enlightened.
As far as instructing goes, I agree with Crowley. There are many great divers that can't teach. There are many average divers that can teach. All the knowledge in the world is useless to a student if you cannot present it to them well. That is for another thread though.
