Using a traversing camera setup and particle tracking, we study the Lagrangian acceleration statistics of ~3 mm diameter (D) bubbles in a water tunnel with nearly homogeneous and isotropic turbulence generated by an active-grid. The Reynolds number (Re_{\\lambda}) is varied from 145 to 230, resulting in size ratios, D/{\\eta} in the range of 7.3--12.5, where {\\eta} is the Kolmogorov length scale.
