Okay; I'm a n00b, and I freely admit I'm a n00b, and I still had my safety sausage and signalling device on EVERY dive this weekend, even the boat dive where I was allowed to tag along behind two much more experienced divers (including a divemaster).

Well, we don't know that he didn't have a sausage. Many newbies don't, but I did for my first boat dive - some do.
His buddy should have ascended with him, if he had one - and if he didn't, he should. When buddies descend and ascend together, no matter what, Accidents thread is quiet. Maybe he shouldn't have been in the ocean if he felt uncomfortable...?
