A tote device comprising a compartment for storing recreational equipment and a strategically located holding mechanism for the placing of weighty objects, wherein said strategically located holding mechanism is placed such that the weight of a weighty object is distributed to lessen the weight load borne by a user. The strategically located holding mechanism is preferably a platform attached outside of the compartment. When a weighty object is placed on the strategically located holding mechanism and the tote device is in position for transporting the recreational equipment to a remote location, the strategic placement of the weighty recreational equipment will act to reduce the weight burden borne by the user.

I claim: 1. A tote device for storing and transporting recreational equipment, the tote device comprising: a. a body; b. a handle; c. one or more wheels defining a wheel axis; and d. a platform configured adjacent to the body of the tote device and designed for the placement of a weighty object to
I claim: 1. A tote device for storing and transporting recreational equipment, the tote device comprising: a. a body; b. a handle; c. one or more wheels defining a wheel axis; and d. a platform configured adjacent to the body of the tote device and designed for the placement of a weighty object to be transported by the tote device, wherein said platform and the weighty object are placed substantially over the wheel axis to reduce the weight burden of transporting the weighty object. 2. The tote device of claim 1, wherein the body is a container further comprising a base member, a top member, first side member, a second side member, a front member and a back member, arranged to form an interior space. 3. The tote device of claim 2, wherein the container has at least one opening for accessing the interior space. 4. The tote device of claim 3, wherein the opening for accessing the interior space comprises a hinged connection for attaching the top member to a member selected from the group consisting of: first side member, second side member, front member and back member. 5. The tote device of claim 1, wherein the handle is connected to the front member of the body. 6. The tote device of claim 1, wherein one or more wheels are connected to the base member of the body. 7. The tote device of claim 1, wherein the platform is attached to the junction of said body where the base member and the rear member meet, and wherein the platform comprises a flat shelf member having a lip and an object support member wherein the flat shelf member having a lip and the object support member are used to secure the weighty object. 8. The tote device of claim 1, wherein one or more wheels are attached to the base member of the body, the handle is attached to the front member of the body proximate the end of said front member connecting with the top member, and the platform is attached to the base member of the body on the end of the base member connecting with the back member and opposite the axis formed by one or more wheels from the handle attachment position. 9. The tote device of claim 8, wherein the platform and the handle are attached to the tote device body on opposite sides of the one or more wheel's axis to facilitate transportation of a weighty object. 10. The tote device of claim 1, wherein the platform and the handle are attached to the tote device body on opposite sides of the one or more wheel's axis to facilitate transportation of a weighty object. 11. The tote device of claim 1, wherein the platform is attached to the base member and juts out from said base member forming a right angle with the back member. 12. The tote device of claim 1, wherein the base member further comprises a drain outlet for the elimination of water and other fluids trapped in the interior space of the container. 13. The tote device of claim 1, wherein the recreational equipment includes a weighty object that is at least one air tank, and wherein the air tank is placed on the platform, the remaining recreational equipment is placed in the cavity of the body and the handle is located opposite the wheel base from the platform and is used to tug the tote device for transportation. 14. A method for transporting recreational equipment across a variety of terrains to a remote location using a tote device, the method comprising the steps of: a. placing weighty objects on a platform member of a tote device to minimize the weight burden of said weighty objects during transporting, the weighty objects positioned substantially over a wheel axis; b. positioning the tote device by lifting on a handle to pivot the tote device along the wheel axis; and c. applying horizontal force to the handle of the tote device to cause the transporting of the recreational equipment. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the step of placing weighty objects on the platform includes placing air tanks on said platform. 16. The method of claim 15 wherein the air tank is used in a sport comprising scuba. 17. A method for attaching weighty recreational equipment to a tote device comprising attaching weighty recreational equipment to the tote device on the opposite end of the tote device from an attachment of a handle of said tote device thereby causing a balance across the wheel axis of said tote device. 18. A method for transporting recreational equipment comprising positioning the weight of said recreational equipment across a wheel axis when the tote device is in a position for transporting to lessen a user's burden in transporting said recreational equipment. 19. The method for transporting the recreational equipment of claim 18, wherein positioning the weight includes placing weighty objects on a side of the tote device that is opposite substantially over the wheel axis and opposite from the placement of the handle on said tote device. 20. The method for transporting the recreational equipment of claim 18, wherein the positioning comprises applying an upward force to the handle and the weight of the weighty object applies a downward force and the tote device is pivoted along the wheel axis. 21. The method for transporting the recreational equipment of claim 18, wherein a downward force of the weighty object eases a user's burden in transporting the recreational equipment by transferring across a pivot point formed by the wheel axis resulting in an upward force at the handle, thereby reducing the total weight load borne by said user. 22. The method for transporting the recreational equipment of claim 18, wherein the tote device is used for a recreation comprising scuba and the weighty object is one or more air tanks.
