Narrative:
As we were climbing to 34;000 we received the right pack off indication and the associated [alert] messages. We were right in the tops of the clouds and requested a climb to 36;000 to try and get in the clear sky. We had been flying with the left pack in the off position; due to the cockpit noise levels. As soon as the right pack off indications happened we immediately selected the left pack back to auto. Shortly after this; but before reaching 36;000; the left pack off indications posted. Bleed pressure for both systems now read zero. At this time we began an immediate descent to 10;000 feet and continued the pack off checklist. We determined that the nearest suitable airport to us was ZZZ. There were thunderstorms in the area; which required some deviating; but the temperatures were high enough that anti-ice was not required. We set up for and briefed the ILS at ZZZ and landed without incident. We informed center; approach and tower that no further assistance was required.
