    I would start with checking the voltage of each of the leads to neutral (white) with the switches off and on.

    So un twist the whites, then black lead(meter) to white wire and then the red lead(meter) to each screw on the switches power on and off correct ? Am I looking for anything specific? Or should I just write all of the readings down and report back ?

    Yes

    You don't need to untwist the white, just remove the wire nut. You might be able to push the test lead into the wire nut and not have to remove it. Just write down the voltages and report back.

    It's really hard to get pictures in this area while holding the meter, alligator clip is on its way tomorrow to make this easier. Should've ordered one to start with.

    If I am looking at it right and what you describe is correct the pool light will only work when the spa switch is on.
