hi Rayzer. it's been years since I was in a hot tub, but I used to just disconnect my infusion set (after testing and possibly giving myself a correction) and I had no problems. here's a discussion where a couple of products are mentioned if you have adhesive issues.

The worst place for diabetics is a hot tub.

I have never had a problem in a hot tub. I just disconnect and reattach when I get out. You may have to do a fixed prime to refill the cannula as the heat might destroy what is in there already. I also have had luck with my CGM sensor - never have fried it in a hot tub - of course I haven't been a very hot tub (> 104 degrees F).
