No, reptiles usually have thick scaly skin and they can't breathe through their skin. Reptiles breathe using their lungs. If they are underwater they have to come to the surface to breathe.

Reptiles have little slits of nostrils and can also mouth-breathe.

Amphibians (frogs, newts, salamanders etc) are NOT reptiles. Amphibians often breathe through their skin, which is thin and wet.
