A one family dwelling with a hot tub with a disconnecting device in the basement capable of being locked open is a outside disconnect required?
 
Yes, a disconnecting means is required within sight of the equipment. Take a look at 680.42 for Outdoor hot tub installations. This section states that hot tubs installed outdoors must meet the requirements of Parts I and II of Article 680. 680.12 requires a maintenance disconnecting means.

If the main serivce disconnecting means is within sight of the above said hot tub, would an additional disconnecting means still be required?

That may be one of those "it's legal, but I'd kill anyone who did it that way" kind of things.
