I can't seem to locate Diamonds in the Pocket Edition of Minecraft, and I've been looking for them for a very long time.
Are there any methods for quickly locating diamonds?

The Minecraft Wiki says you can find diamonds between layers 15 and 0. The best layers to look for them are from Y=12 to Y=5. There is an average of 3.097 diamond ore per chunk.
** RAW MATERIALS NEEDED**:
For my method, you need the following:
Mine down to bedrock, placing ladders all the way down. Then, place signs up from the first block of bedrock up 16 blocks, one by one. Next, make 3 levels and mine 20 blocks back and make a small 10x10 room. Mine 20 blocks back with 2 blocks in between in all directions and go 20 blocks back on all levels in all directions. Go straight back and don't do mine any more.
If you find lava, put a cobble stone block in it and then make a stairwell up to it and look for diamonds by the lava pool. If you find nothing in the lava, just destroy your stairs and block off the entrance. Use all the torches to light up the mine. Leave at least 3 blocks between torches to so you don't use them all right away. Then just mine like that and place your beds in the levels and your crafting tables.
Use leftover wood for chests to hold all your leftover ladders, torches, and sticks, as well as storage for diamonds.
Alternatively, you can use a radar scanner app that can tell you the precise co-ordinates where you will find diamonds.
I found diamonds by digging down really deep with an iron pickaxe. I built a really big mine and they were everywhere. This was on survival so watch out for lava.
