Not for a human. Some animals can, as you possibly already know. The only way a human is able to breath is by using an air tank, however, the human isn't producing the oxygen, the air tank is. So, if your question is "can humans breath underwater by themselves?" then no.

Seals are able to hold their breath for long periods of time while underwater by slowing their heart rate and reducing blood flow to non-essential organs.
