At what level should I strip mine?

I would recommend to strip mine at y11, this is because it is above lava and you can find any ores at this level. If you bring a water bucket you can pour it over any lava you mine into.

Do diamonds spawn near Lava?

Not always, no. You can find any ore anywhere so long as you're at the right height for it. It just so happens that the level where lava spawns is also the level where diamonds do. Nonetheless, you can find diamonds that aren't near lava.

Diamond Ore only appears between layers 1-16, but it is most abundant on layer 12. To check what layer you're on, check the Y value on your map (F3 on PC) (FN + F3 on Mac). It can be found in veins as large as 8 blocks of Ore. Lava frequently appears between layers 4-10.

Where can I find diamonds in the ground?

There are three methods of diamond searching. Surface searching consists of walking up and down the rows of dirt looking for diamonds lying on top of the ground.
