    EDIT: It seems that the coordinates in this solution and comment section no longer work since a recent update and have been changed, will try to do my research and give you the new location (if it exists).

    You can find a chest with a diamond in the Sand Temple (X: -229, Y:66, Z:41) in the Tutorial World. Head west and you'll spot the temple near a village by the shore, enter from the main entrance and you will see on the floor a blue wool block and some orange wool blocks, dig down one of the ORANGE wool block and you'll fall down in a pit with a dynamite trigger pad on the center, without stepping on it, search the 4 chests that are mounted on the walls and you will find a diamond there, just take it in your inventory, toss it on the floor and pick it up again for the achievement.

    Now, if you want to get
    Minecraft: Xbox 360 EditionDiamonds to you!The Diamonds to you! achievement in Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition worth 36 pointsThrow diamonds at another player.

    dig some sand blocks and return to the surface, get back to the village that you spawn in and exit and save the game. Now connect a second controller or call a friend and throw the diamond to your second player to pick it up.

    WerferAkrobat7Easiest way on the new tutorial world is get one of the diamond blocks where the beacon is located (just straight through the tunnel from the spawn, no way you cannot find that) and craft diamonds out of one block and throw it on the floor and pick it back up.

    Tandar1Can you be a little more specific? I'm not seeing any diamond blocks or whatever straight through the tutorial gate.

    EDIT:
    Thanks to DefiantZero and Zordnil for pointing this out:

    If you already have a world where you have diamonds, you can get this achievement if somebody throws one at you for the other achievement.

    There is also easy access to diamond in the tutorial world at co-ordinates X:-158 / Z: 329
    (Again, thanks Zordnil)

    Old Solution:

    Firstly you will need only an Iron Pickaxe, which is created using 3 Iron Ingots and 2 sticks.

    Then you will need to mine down to level Y16 or lower, this is because Diamonds only spawn at this level,
    (HINT: You can tell what "Y" level you are on by looking at your map, it displays on the top)

    Personally I have the most success mining at Y12, though your mileage may vary
    The most common way to hunt for Diamonds is to "Strip Mine" this is where you mine into the rock in 3 block intervals as below

    XCCXCCXCCX
    XCCXCCXCCX

    X: Mine Here
    C: This is stone

    It shouldn't take you too long to find diamonds using this pattern.

    This video is not mine, but it should help you if my explanation isn't so useful

    ZordnilIf another player throws a diamond to you it will count as mined for you.

    There is a block of diamond in a building at these coordinates:
    X: -158
    Z: 329
    Go up the ladder at the coordinates. At the first possible floor step off to the left and enter the door there. Just a few blocks in is a door leadin to the library, enter it.
    At the back you will see a fireplace and to the left of it a lever, pull it to open a secret passage inside the fireplace. In there is a block of diamond as well as lots of blocks of gold and lapis lazuli.

    ZordnilThe coordinates are for the tutorial world btw. :)

    Simply start the tutorial, go down to where the beacon is, take the iron out of the chest, break any wood, make wood planks and then sticks, go to the crafting table and make an iron pickaxe, go back to the beacon area, break a diamond block, go back to the crafting table, turn the diamond block into diamonds, throw one on the ground, and pick it back up.
