Why do helicopters struggle in bodies of water ?

I’m watching videos of rescue helicopters and noticed that some have their blades form a cone when flying low in bodies of water. This doesn’t seem to happen often on land so why in water?

Ah well, there’s your problem. Helicopters are built to fly in the air, not submerge in water.
