While I couldn’t say for sure, I reckon the “Diving” Idents may have stopped airing when the Christmas Ident(s) began.
Early 2002 saw new versions of The One To Watch Idents introduced, some of which were 2 minutes long.

I finally figured out how to get the old DVD/HDD recorder and its remote to play nice after nearly eight years, so will be able to extract some of the old VHS conversions that were done in 2011/12 for you over coming weeks/months. Hey, at least this is something fun to do during the current pandemic and fairly average weather we usually get in Sydney during August!
Without further adieu, here are the first cabs off the rank…
Channel Seven Sydney - Friday May 11, 2001.

“Ransom” Breakbumpers:
“The Friday Movie” Opener:
Sponsor Billboards:
For those interested, the Idents played during this particular recording were generic and Noni Hazelhurst 10 Seconders.
Channel Seven Sydney - July 4, 2001 (Fun fact: After being mostly recorded over a couple of years later, this recording came back on just as the ship was sinking during Titanic! 
)
Promo Endtags:
“Titanic” Breakbumpers:
“Titanic” Sponsor Billboard:
…and finally, a rare (and incomplete, seems to have run for 20 seconds but I only got about 15 before the tape ran out) “What Do You Watch?” Ident with an Australian celebrity I probably should know but can’t quite put a name to:
If “What do I watch? The one to watch, Channel Seven” wasn’t the final line at the end of this, that was a major loss opportunity IMO!

Oh that Adopt-a-Dot campaign that went nowhere.

What was Adopt-A-Dot all about just after the Olympics
@mubd does have a presence here on Media Spy, you know.
We’ve covered this quite extensively before, even dedicating a thread to the discussion!

I had to start slapping “please don’t steal my videos” on my channel because there have been douchebags going about ripping the vids and re-uploading them to their own channels without naming me as the source. Really shits me because of the amount of effort it takes to capture and upload the videos. I really don’t care, as long as they name me as the source…
A YouTuber called Steven Water and another called Conor Macdonald are serial offenders.

With thanks to @Zampakid once again, more caps from Seven Adelaide this time from Friday May 24, 2002 (airdate based on “last weekend of Autumn” comment by Nuala Hafner during the Weather Update).
Seven Adelaide’s contribution to the 2002 “The One To Watch” network Idents - local TT/news presenter scenes featuring Leigh McClusky, Jane Doyle & Graham Goodings:

With thanks to @Zampakid once again, yet another batch of caps. Slowly but surely, something resembling a complete picture from this On-Air Presentation Package (and many others from different eras/channels) is emerging!
Channel Seven Sydney - Saturday April 6, 2002.
Promo Endtags:
Promos for Alias, Always Greener, The Practice, SportsWatch and Today Tonight were also seen during this recording, however the endtags were almost identical to caps already posted here so no point duplicating those.
Breakbumpers for The Wizard of Oz & Bean:
Sponsor Billboard:
…and last but certainly not least, what very well could be among the earliest examples of Movie Tie-In Idents on Australian TV:
While they’re probably something I really should remember seeing on TV back then, oddly I don’t have any memories (if I did, they’re long forgotten by now) of those Ice Age Idents.

Great finds. Would like to see the full Closing Ceremony from that day.

Granted it’s without any of the commentary we saw/heard on Seven, but didn’t the official Olympics YouTube channel upload both the Opening & Closing Ceremonies of Sydney 2000 some time ago?
