Can turtles breath underwater?

A turtle needs air to breathe. Some turtles can slow their metabolism, allowing them to sleep underwater, but it must come up to the surface of the water in order to breathe. It can hold it's breath and stay underwater awhile, but it must surface to breathe or it will drown. Turtles cannot breathe underwater because they do not have gills, like fish - they have lungs, much like human lungs. Some aquatic turtles such as the red-eared slider can hold their breath for 3-4 hours, which might make you think that they are breathing underwater, but they really are not.
