politely disagree spooky, 4mars was speaking of the second diagram, which is a Tether Management System or (TMS). In this case "a remotely controlled tether cable spooling mechanism fitted into the top section of a side entry garage containing the ROV. The TMS is lowered to the required working depth where the ROV can be flown out of its garage to the extent of its tether cable."
during a swell the garage would require some AHC (active heave compensation) especially when it is time to "park" the ROV back into the garage in the TMS, to bring it back onto the ship.
an ROV is an expensive piece of equipment, and at times many projects may be called off during rough sea, in order to protect the unit, some of these cases may now continue with operations with the leverage that the Proteus (TM) offers during rough seas.
but in essence your initial thought is generally correct under normal circumstances spooky, good work as usual.
