    4 parameters
    Flight / transport ($) = 500, Accommodation ($/night) = 120, Number of nights = 7, Number of dives = 10 = 11 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total trip cost
    Total trip cost = flightCost + accommodationTotal + divingTotal + gearRentalTotal + nitroxTotal...
    2325 = $2,325
  3. Calculate All-in cost per dive
    233 = $233
  4. Calculate Cost per day
