My idea was to fill any pockets on your bcd with rocks, which may or may not also work. Other than that, doff the drysuit altogether and try to perform a rescue uninsulated, which might have turned one victim into two. Either way, it would seem pretty difficult to do, particularly if you weren't sure of exactly where the victim was. Its pretty easy to lose exact bearings when staring at the surface of the water from a horizontal perspective.
It could have been possible albeit very difficult, or it could have been impossible. We don't know. I'm sure the guy wasn't sitting on the beach relaxing in the sun the whole time. I'm quite sure he would have exhausted any options he felt were available to him. Assigning blame is a rather rash thing to do at this point, not knowing what his side of the story is.
