Exploration of maritime areas is a task perfectly suited to be performed by AUVs(Autonomous Underwater Vehicles). In areas where unknown obstacles and currents are expected, the use of predefined plans is questionable. In this paper we present a behaviour-based approach which can cope with such situations. As an additional constraint, straight driving is required in the scenario to be mastered. In this paper, we focus on exploration by a single AUV, even our approach is even more promising for cooperative exploration by multiple AUVs. In the following, we describe a scenario for autonomous exploration and its implementation using the Dual Dynamics architecture. For evaluation, we use a simulation environment.
