Most definitely. All major orifices for an alligator have watertight seals, nostrils, ears, and throat. Check it out, I'll have to find it again, but looking for images to answer another question earlier, I found some pretty nifty footage, I'll edit in a few minutes.
here we go.

enjoy the birds and stuff, what you're looking for is scattered in here... this is one of my favorite places in St. Augustine.
Edited to add.......
Grrr, you'll have to click on "explore the zoo" and "videos" it should play automagically after you get to the video page.

Alligators can attack in any circumstances. I have a baby alligator!

Absolutely. That is their home, and they are very adept in the water. They actually have it difficult on land to attack.

Well here's what you do to find out go stand in the water with it and see what happens.

Yep. They bite hard and roll, twisting their victim in their teeth. It's actually EASIER to do this in water than on land.

Absolutely, they can hold their breath and "roll" with their prey to drown it. Why, are you thinking of doing away with someone that way?
