How does the speed of light compare in water glass and diamond?
Speed of light in vacuum = ' c '-- Speed of light in Air . . 99.97% of ' c '.-- in Water . . . . . . . . 75% of ' c '.-- in Crown Glass . . . 64.9%-- in Flint Glass . . . . . 61.7%-- in Diamond . . . . . . 41.3%
Does light travel faster in glass than in a vacuum?
No, slower. Light travels fastest in a vacuum. Anything transparent that light can pass through slows it down somewhat. Diamond crystal slows it down notably, which is part of what causes the "fire" in a diamond.

How does the average speed of light in glass compass with its speed in a vacuum?
There are several different types of glass, and light has a somewhat different speed in each of them. On the average, the speed of light across all typical types of glass is in the neighborhood of 2/3 its speed in vacuum, or around 200,000 km/sec .
