They are reptiles... indefinitely, but they will become dehydrated after a certain amount of time. RES generally need to be submersed under water to drink and eat.

How long can red eared slider turtles live out of water?

Adult snapping turtles can stay under water for 40-50 minutes. I have a baby snapper and he stays under for about 10-15 minutes. I know he can hold his breath for longer but it is really just a choice thing. If a snapping turtle knows that a potential predator is near by then he may stay down for 20 minutes or more. If a baby snapper is comfortable with his environment then he may leave his head above water or come up every minute or so.
