Jetted tub electrical
We got an electrical permit and two inspections. The first inspection they told us the electrical for the tub had to where it is now, outside the tub, right next to it where water can easily splash onto the outlet. This does not make sense to us and now we are running out of time before the guy comes to finish our drywall and we want to be absolutely sure we have this correct. It is on a GFCI breaker.

You must satisfy your inspector so we really aren't the ones to ask, but if it were me I would replace the GFCI breaker with a regular 20 amp single pole breaker, I'd also install a deadfront GFCI device on the wall about 2 to 3 feet higher than the receptacle location in your picture and finally I would install a receptacle for the tub to plug into under the skirt.

I agree with Joe too. The inspector is looking for a shutoff method outside the skirt. The plug is one way. A receptacle under the tub with a deadfront GFI up on the wall is another method.
