You are allowed personal cameras for the Blue Lagoon Dolphin Encounter. It says it on it's website. I have also asked questions about it and several people have confirmed it. You CAN NOT use them at Atlantis though.
This is what the wbsite says
Taking Your Own Photos
In addition to the professional photos and video services above, you can also take your own photos in the dolphin programs only. Cameras are NOT permitted in the Sea Lion Encounter. Cameras can appear as toys to sea lions so for the safety of our animals and your camera equipment we do not permit cameras in their habitat.
If you are participating in the Dolphin Encounter, you may take personal photos and videos during your program.
If you are participating in the Dolphin Swim, you will be getting into the water almost immediately. During the second half of your program you may take your own photos on the platform.
In both dolphin programs, the animals WILL BE splashing and cameras are brought down on the platforms at your own risk.
We encourage you to bring a towel down to protect your equipment if it is not waterproof. Dolphin Encounters is NOT responsible for any damages to personal camera or video equipment.
Waterproof cameras can be taken into the water in either dolphin program.
Video cameras are not allowed in the water in order to ensure that guests listen to the trainer's instructions.
If you are an Observer for the dolphin or sea lion programs, you are allowed to take personal photos and videos from the dock areas only. However, Observers are not allowed on the animal platforms or ramps at any time.
Add some of the wildlife at Dolphin Encounters to your collection of Bahamas pictures. Take advantage of the professional photographers and videographers available at Dolphin Encounters on Blue Lagoon Island.

Thanks Jen!!! My mom picked up a disposable waterproof camera for me today. I'm so glad we can use it. I'd rather not risk ruining an expensive camera, but I want pictures. We'll have to leave the fancy camera away from the water. Maybe there's a locker I can stash it in.
We are almost all packed! Finishing up some laundry tonight so everyone has what they need. I'm home tomorrow, going to take some treats to school for Sarah's b-day (one day early), run to the bank and pick up the girls at 1 and get ready. We're hoping DH gets home by 2 so we can be on our way!!!
I will not be sleeping well tonight!!! I'm too excited to sleep!!
