I'm pretty sure they can breathe for several hours underwater or at least mine does.

Indefinitely. Turtles are true amphibians. They come to land to lay eggs and to sun themselves

( they're cold blooded, too ).

Answer:

Turtles do not breathe underwater (no gills) they have to surface periodically to take a breath. Underwater they hold their breath. As reptiles their metabolism is slow enough to stretch out a lungfull of oxygen for several minutes.
