Dr Charlie Teo and his model girlfriend and former patient have been spotted holidaying together at a picturesque reef.
The renowned brain surgeon went swimming with Traci Griffiths, 46, at Ningaloo Reef, off the Western Australia coast, in early May.
A gushing Ms Griffiths took to Facebook to share photos of the pair tricked out in snorkeling apparatus and swimming through the crystal clear water alongside fish and whale sharks.

Ms Griffiths is a former model and pet apparel designer who has reportedly been operated on by Dr Teo twice since they met in 2011
‘What an incredible privilege it was to swim beside one of THE most majestic and peaceful creatures on earth,’ Ms Griffiths wrote.
‘The first one we swam with was about four meters in length and was hard to keep up with, as he went about his way in a dead straight line.
‘And a BIG hug and kiss to my favourite human, Charlie, for organising such a special trip.’
Daily Mail Australia contacted Dr Teo and Ms Griffiths for comment.
Ms Griffiths is a former model, pet apparel designer and animal conservationist who promotes health and wellbeing on her social media pages.
She is a volunteer director at Zambi Wildlife Retreat and runs Miyow and Barkley – a pet designer accessory store.
Ms Griffiths was introduced to Dr Teo in 2011 and has reportedly been operated on twice by the renowned surgeon.
The pair ‘grew closer’ after Dr Teo ended his 30-years of marriage and split with his wife Genevieve in 2018.
They have since been spotted attending public events together, working out and wearing outrageously funny costumes for fancy-dress parties.
The pair were seen together at the Rebel Ball Reimagined at Doltone House, in Sydney, on May 2.

Ms Griffiths has previously shared videos of her and a shirtless Dr Teo working out and attending a wildlife retreat together.
Dr Teo is best known for operating on patients who other doctors have deemed inoperable.
One of his most well-known cases was 14-year-old Milli Lucas who became known as his ‘miracle girl’.
She was diagnosed with a brain tumour and flew from Perth to Sydney to be operated on by Dr Teo in June 2019.
Doctors deemed it inoperable though Dr Teo managed to remove 98 per cent of the tumour.
Sadly her cancer returned in March 2020 and she passed away in January 2021.
