Currently livestreaming, and i can;t seem to find diamond to build my block shop. Any tips on how to find it in survival mode? Dig Deep is not useful for this post...

Modifying my own post to answer my question myself. Gonna use keywords here for anyone searching in the future.

Where to find diamond in survival?

I finally found Diamond at the level of Tuff, 3 blocks or so above serpentine. I found Ruby in serpentine.

I had to strip mine, mine in a straight line, while staring at the mini-map to catch it. Make sure to have mini-map on and a general idea of what the block texture looks like.

I've found diamond in Tuff and below, I've mostly found it in Tuff and Granite.

Finding ores in Survival Mode is very difficult I strongly suggest you use shops, If you have not found them in the shops the diamonds can be found in deep caves underground in chests.

If your lucky like me you will find the Amulet of Flight as a bonus.
