Do Green Sea Turtles breath or do they hold their breath, like when diving, when they are basking on the beach?

Sea turtles have lungs and must come to the surface of the water to breath. They can hold their breath for 20 minutes or more while diving. They would be able to breath normally while basking on the beach.
