this isn't necessarily the fastest diamond-mining method, but it's currently my favorite:
Underwater caving.
You'll need:
Pick of your choosing (make sure it's got either silk touch or fortune III on it, and you definitely want efficiency V)
Helmet with aqua affinity and respiration
Boots with frost walker
Magma block
a deeeeep underwater cave
It's way safer than regular caving because about the only mobs you have to deal with are drowned. Your biggest danger is in drowning, but if you've got the magma, you're set. It's like a little portable oxygen tank that can burn your feet, lol.
If you don't have frost walker to protect your feet from the magma, you can crouch on the magma and still get the benefit of the air bubbles, you just have to be a little more careful. I've been at this for a little over 2 hours and have the diamonds you see -- again, not necessarily the fastest or best method, but it may arguably be the safest.
Happy mining!

The Chemical Structure of Redstone
So I was curious about what the chemical structure of Redstone looks like, and Minecraft Education Edition, albeit unintentionally, gives us a canon look into what Redstone is made of:
In Minecraft Education Edition, putting a Redstone Block into a Material Reducer shows that it's composed of 31 Carbon, 31 Uranium, and 38 Unobtanium, which we can assume to be measured in grams
Dividing the Redstone Block into Redstone Dust, each Redstone Dust is then composed of approximately 3.4 Carbon, 3.4 Uranium, and 4.2 Unobtanium
Again assuming that's measured in grams, that's 0.17 cm³ of Uranium, 1.496 cm³ of Carbon, and ???³ of Unobtanium per Redstone Dust
So what does this tell us about the chemical structure of Redstone? Basing this on Redstone Dust's composition, we can estimate that each Redstone molecule is composed of 3 Carbon atoms, 3 Uranium atoms, 4 Unobtanium atoms, a little under half of the time it binds to an extra Uranium and/or Carbon, and 20% of the time it binds to an extra Unobtanium
This also has some horrifying implications for how Redstone works:
Redstone would be extremely volatile as the radioactive decay from Unobtanium and Uranium would occasionally release Helium ions through alpha radiation, sometimes breaking apart Carbon into two Beryllium atoms (as it absorbs the extra proton and neutron from the Uranium) or merging into Oxygen
So Redstone should, in theory, be extremely flammable and potentially explosive, which implies that cave static, or the player mining Redstone with an Iron Pickaxe, could lead to a spark that causes an explosive cave-in
As Unobtanium is just a placeholder for unobtainable elements (hence the name), I'm going to estimate Unobtanium in this case as Unbinilium, the placeholder name for element 120
Why?
I'm estimating the Unobtanium as Redstone as being larger than the largest man-made element, Oganesson, which holds an impressive 118 protons
Each valence electron shell, from innermost to outermost, can bind with 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 18, and 8 shells respectively, so I'd like Unobtanium to be an element we haven't discovered yet, and consequently I'd like to jump up to the next shell
While I could estimate with element 119's placeholder, Ununennium, it would have one electron in the next shell, so Unbinilium allows for easier chemical binding
So what does this molecule look like then? Well, horrifyingly...
It looks like this. As Redstone forms in crystal lattices, and only two Carbon atoms are free to bind, I can absolutely see why it's so brittle that it breaks into powder.
This makes the structure of Redstone:
C3U3Uno4 (55% of molecules)
C4U3Uno4 (13% of molecules)
C3U4Uno4 (13% of molecules)
C4U4Uno4 (7% of molecules)
C3U3Uno5 (5% of molecules)
C4U3Uno5 (3% of molecules)
C3U4Uno5 (3% of molecules)
C4U4Uno5 (1% of molecules)
An extremely radioactive, flammable, and explosive compound.
