Do reptiles have a soft skin and lay eggs on land?

Turtles are air-breathing animals, even sea turtles who spend most of their time swimming in the sea. If turtle eggs were laid underwater, the baby turtles might drown when they hatched, before they were able to swim to the surface to get air. Also, even though there are predators on both land and in the water, who like to eat eggs, the rate of predation in the ocean is higher. The eggs are more likely to survive on land.
