I often share this information with my students, but thought since I have a little free time I'd share some hints with a broader audience. 
I usually rinse my gear in either a pelican box or a rubber-maid box in my driveway. I roll out a garment rack I bought at Target for $60 and hang all of the wet stuff on it. When it is done dripping, I roll it back into my garage. I have a heavy duty rolling rack that I can hang several wetsuits and BCs on when they are dry, but that was more expensive and doesn't have the shelves.
You can't beat this garment rack for $60! It's got some shelves for extra stuff. Yep, it rusts but mine is 4 years old and is still working just fine.
Supreme Garment Rack
I use bungee cords tossed over the rack to hang my fins on. (I have several pairs and if my husband tripped over a one; I'd never hear the end of it.) It's bad enough to hear, "If you only can use two fins at a time, why do you need so many???" (You can insert any piece of gear into that sentence and he's said it...
)
I also use small bungees to hang up my regulator setups.
On the end of my garment rack, I have a shoe organizer hanging. It keeps all the small stuff in a nice neat place. Make it easy to find things I use often since the pockets are clear and I can see things easily.
From Target I also bought some of those pants hanger, the ones that are straight with the pinchers (clothes pins thingies) on the end. I use those to dry my gloves and weight pockets.
I have some fabric paint that I use to mark my gear. Have you ever noticed how much of the gear looks the same (Akona bags, weight bags, weight pockets, gloves, etc)??? I use bright yellow, works great and lasts forever. Got a big bottle of it at Michael's Craft Store for less than $5.
So, there's some hints on how to organize and dry gear.
