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?

Helicopters are meant to fly, not be in the water. You could also ask why fish struggle at the altitude of 400 meters in the air
