fish Tuna Spotting, tuna boat ops (incl Guam)

i recently had a job offer from venezuela flying a h500 for tunaspotting. $10k/trip lasting up to three months

couple of questions:
what's the condition of the machines in general? i'm not talking american companies. is it worth risking your life for it? i'm not desperate for turbine hours.
i was told they used dynamite dropped from the helicopter. now, i'm not interested in breaking international laws (even if it concerns fish) when flying. is this legal? flying through airspace without contacting atc is one thing, not that i do that either.

cheers
