A friend wants to energize his new Jacuzzi, 50 amp 240v.

I am thinking of running 8-3 nm under the house then going directly into plastic conduit for the section that needs to go underground. The nm is marked for interior use, am I violating code by running it in conduit underground?

1. moisture could still get into the conduit
2. The wires will run hotter if they are enclosed in the conduit.
3. EITHER reason would be enough to not do it.
