The present embodiments relate to launch and recovery management systems with a pass through tether for an offshore object. The embodiments turn a free flying remotely operated vehicle system into a tether management controlled system by separately supporting the tether management system frame with an independent load line so the tether or umbilical only passes through the frame going direct to a remotely operated vehicle. A traction system coupled with a constant tension system on the tether management system topside maintains the tether or umbilical directly below the launch and recovery system down to the desired working depth thereby avoiding any slack or impacts of current forces.
