This set, has one minifig …

 
Set No: 4790  Name: Alpha Team Deep Sea Robot Diver
* 
4790-1 (Inv) Alpha Team Deep Sea Robot Diver
27 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1 Book, 2002
Sets: Alpha Team: Mission Deep Sea

 
Minifig No: alp015  Name: Charge - Mission Deep Sea
* 
alp015 (Inv) Charge - Mission Deep Sea
Minifigures: Alpha Team: Mission Deep Sea

On the instruction, the large front illustration (containing the minifig) and
the actual assembly instructions, do not show an air-tank. But if you look at
the small inset of the minifig (front lower-right and rear side parade of all
Mission Deep Sea minifigs, they show Charge having air-tanks. No air-tanks are
included in 4790-1.

My guess is that something changed between design and production, and the illustrators
never got brought back into a revision cycle.

As an addendum, nowhere on the instructions is shown the black hairpiece. Maybe
the hairpiece replaced the air tanks, at some level of design/review.
