exactly 144\ but probably more is possible.   
in my run i pass a few \ which i cannot snap without getting crushed... :-)

my solution free! :-)  
  
i see a few places where bonus\ might be possible:  
  
At 00:25 perhaps more \ could be grapped from the l-shape, but first a lot of boulders need to be cleaned up somehow...  
  
at 00:37 i pass a few diamonds from above which i could not grap by snapping downward, otherwise a boulder will crush rockford. maybe there's a trick to get more here...  
  
i'm curious to know other's ( nesdori 's?) opinion ;-D

i quickly checked this earlier and the path on this cave is quite sequential compared to lvl4 where options are disabled and enabled depending on what you do first. so it was quite easy to see what is the intended path and which are the 144 intended diamonds. in addition to those 144 i found just one extension where to get extra \. you can dive into the chamber of 6 diamonds on the left middle using 1/4 luck and get 5 bonus \. so 149 is the max i could found (and 144 without luck) but i didn't spend much time thinking about other spots so maybe even more is possible.. :)

well i don't exactly remember my runs on gdash but a lot of things from your run look very familiar to me: the fact that you solve the cave from right to left, and also some small tricks you used. so i'm pretty sure that my runs were very similar, and i couldn't (and still can't) see a deterministic way to get more \ from any of the two spots you ( Arno ) mentioned.  
  
i'm not sure whether i had  nesdori 's 25% idea for 5 bonus \, but i'm quite happy with this - it would definitely have been too time-consuming to look for a random seed where such thing absolutely cannot happen :D  
  
so, if no more deterministic bonus \ are found, i see my original assessment confirmed - on l4, i felt there might be more to discover than i did, while l5 looked quite "finished" to me. ;d
