Rib cockpit height

Hi, is it possible for a RIB to have the cockpit below WL?
I know that it's not possible for a non inflatable boat but due to the "almost unsinkable " nature of the RIB I thought it migh be a different story,I could not find anything on the ISO rules.
The thing is : if I keep the copckpit too high then the tube would not be high enough to be a safe "man overboard" prevention.
I fear my question could be clear as mud.
