Yes, it is possible, but not likely that (I'd put the chances at worse than 1 in 1,000,000) one or both of them are alive. I don't think anyone is serving the best interest of all those involved by feeding the family members and friends with wild tales of survival (which are often embellished). There is a thing worse than losing someone, and that is losing someone and having someone continue to elude that they maybe alive somewhere. Given the circumstances- divers alone in rough seas, strong currents and no way of getting out of the water- they most likely would not have drifted as far as some may think (based on "The life raft in CASE A drifted this distance, that must have happened in this case."). If nothing has been found after a long intensive search, then most likely (and if I were leading the search, I'd be comfortable doing so at this point) the case should be more or less closed with the outcome listed as "indeterminate pending further evidence- victims whereabouts unknown."
