Most don't as this is not a very effective or safe way of getting up once you get bellow a few M of water.
Most agency's will teach you to do an Alternate Source assent where you come up breathing of your buddy's air source, as this allows you to come up at a safer and more controlled rate.
In Briton cave diving is largely done to move between flooded sections of dry cave, so most cave divers are dry cavers first, and diving is just used to bypass sumps.
Also most British cave diving is done solo (so without a buddy that most systems recommend.) in quite tight conditions.
Caves in mainland Europe tend to be larger and the diving philosophy is different. There you will find team diving prevalent.
I live in a Rural area in the UK, i have a 20 mile commute to work, and its 6 miles to the nearest city. There is 2 bus services that run though the "town" I live in both run one an hour and take about about an hour to to get anywhere useful.
I would be unable to work, and get around without a car, I live where i do because it was one of the few places i could afforded to buy a house in the area that I live, that was also close enough to where i work.
