There is significant tourism infrastructure in Cairns. This includes the international airport and a booking agency on every corner. There is good competition amongst operators. I do not think you will find better value for money in other locations up or down the coast.
If you are looking to get away from the tourist areas, you could consider staying on an island (e.g. Heron Island) and doing multiple day scuba trips.
