My fastest time finding Diamonds was 4 Minutes and 38 seconds!

About 30 seconds. When I spawned I immediately saw a cave right next to me. I fell in it, but luckily landed on a stream of water and began my descent from there. Once I reached the bottom, I just wandered around for a couple more seconds til I found diamonds.
EDIT: Wow, didn't realize I just reached Diamond Miner. Woooooooooooo.
Probably a good 20 seconds. I started messing around with random seeds, and found myself in one w/ spawn right next to a ditch. Hopped in, found a cave (bear in mind, this was peaceful mode), and whaddya know - two diamonds right under my feet.
That was finding it, mining it on the other hand...no iron in sight.
If you follow the path you take into the caves in the 404 seed on peaceful and take a few seconds to look around, you'll stumble across diamonds real fast. When I started the 404 challenge my first time, it only took me a minute after collapsing the gravel to find diamonds.
Took me a lot longer to be able to mine them, though.

404 is the seed, there's a gravel beach near spawn, stand on it and break one block. The cave literally can be travelled all the way to bedrock and perhaps to all edges of the map.
It's a seed that only works in early versions of minecraft, Like the current xbox one.
It's got a big gravel beach, and when you break it, It falls into a huge cave complex, Right near bedrock, full of lava. You have until the first night to grab any wood ETC you need, Then you have to try and survive for as long as you can
To add on to that, you play on normal or hard difficulty, you're not allowed to use torches, and you're never allowed to return to the surface. There are little challenges you can do to earn points, like crafting metal blocks and building certain things.
My fastest time was about five minutes
I spawned made a mineshaft and found iron and gold made it into a pickaxe right there and found diamond right under it

Lol, I didn't. It had just turned 6:00 when I started my world and by the time I found diamonds it was til 6 o' clock. I'm assuming it was 30 seconds.
