Peter,

I don't know if you have the same product in
Australia, but here in the US, there is a dish
detergent called "Joy" which works in salt water. Dr.
Bronner's Magic Soaps work OK, too; you just have to
use a lot more of them than you would in fresh water.

If you don't have either of those prodicts available,
you might be able to find sea soap at a marine store.
It doesn't work as well as the other two things I
mentioned, but it will keep everyone closer together
than nothing at all.

Have fun!

Wayne
