Turtles are reptiles which can live in water or on land. Turtles aren't amphibious; most turtles cannot breath water at any stage of their life cycle, but the common musk turtle has tiny specialized bumps on their tongue called papillae that allow these turtles to draw in oxygen through them.

Also, the side-necked turtles of Australia have specialised cavities in their rear, known as cloacal bursae, to draw in water and remove the oxygen. This info can be found on the BBC web page at the link below.
