Hi. Has anyone of you felt any chest squeezing when using this bcd on d the surface during swimming or boat pickup. Bec. I have tried d wave brand n felt some squeezing n can cause dificulfy in breathing when on the surface. But i am considering of buying it bcoz of the cheap price. Unlike d back plate.

I have the Wave and haven't noticed anything like that. I also think I could have gone a size down so maybe it being big helps with that.
Wave and Pro HD are almost identical - I learned to dive in a Pro HD and then bought a used Wave right after. So I wouldn't expect any problems to go away between models.

You may have the sternum strap over tightened.
That is the chest strap between the shoulder straps.
Also, snug that one last. New divers often tighten that first and then the shoulder straps, distorting the fit.

Reading your original comment again, are you inflating the BC fully at the surface? The air bladder also goes along the sides so if you inflate the jacket until it's full, it'll feel a lot smaller and push in on your sides. Mine's got 38 pounds of lift which is much more than necessary in most situations, so I don't inflate it all the way.
