Varies: This varies with the individual. Some is due to the vasodilation occurring with the heat and some to dehydration. If this occurs you should limit the time you are spending in the hot tub, drink plenty of fluids and if feeling light-headed or weak, stay down until improved. Five minutes does not seem excessive.
