You can always create a new static transform from ENU to NED and use that coordinate system for your AUV.
You can do that in a terminal by running:
rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0 0 0 1.57 0 3.14 world world_ned 30
where world and world_ned are the respected ENU and NED frames.
or simply put the following inside a .launch file:
<node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="ned_publisher" args="0 0 0 1.57 0 3.14 world world_ned 30"/>
and use the world_ned frame for the AUV
I had the same question back when I started the UUV simulator. In the end the decision was to publish a world ned frame and use it as a reference frame. At least from the simulation point of view, I modified the sensor plugins so that they could use both world and world_ned frames, and the vehicles also have base_link and base_link_ned (as in this example here).
I am not sure if this is the best/easiest approach, but I couldn't find many other references in this subject.
