There were separate rinse tanks for masks and cameras and a small table to
put the cameras, glasses, etc.  I didn't have a camera but I heard no
complaints from those who did.

Ocean Frontiers (oceanfrontiers.com) is a 1st class outfit that spoils it
customers.  They're located on the northeast end of the island and we dove
sites on the north and east sides.  They offered free shuttle service to
and from Morritts.  If you dive multiple days with them, simply put your
gear in a provided basket.  They will rinse it off and store it for you. 
Upon arrival, you're gear is set up on the boat.  They also change your
gear to another tank after the 1st dive.  I dove with them for 2 weeks (20
dives) and the only sites we repeated was Stingray City (due to the dive
packages I took) and the night dive (both night dives were great;20 feet
for 60 minutes).  Dive briefings were complete.  Boat had no more than 12
divers, broken up into 2 groups.  Nitrox is available.  1st dive (100 feet)
is guided.  2nd dive (keep around 50 ft.) is guided or on your own (dive
your computer). Everyone associated with Ocean Frontiers was friendly and
enthusiastic.
