Here is the quickest method to find diamond:
* Find a location you would like to dig.
* Dig a staircase until you reach layer 11 – Layer 11 and 12 is between layers 10-16 which is where diamond is found.
*Choose a side to dig, either left or right and dig a tunnel that is perpendicular (At a right angle) to the staircase.
* Every 4 blocks dig a tunnel on either side of this new tunnel.
* Continue this until you have a satisfactory amount of diamond.
