Tripwire
(Note of irritation, blogger has been acting way too flaky lately. It is taking me two or three times to post something.)
I interpreted your last post as moving carefully at half-speed, making spot and search checks. The spot checks are irrelevant, only telling you that the water is indeed as filthy as it was aminute ago. I secretly rolled a search check for you, which ended up 16.
The search check turns up a tripwire planted at ankle height. It is a fine, hard wire, painted a color that is similar to the catwalk. There are no alarms or other traps attached to it, but the floor just beyond it has been weakened. Had you tripped you would have fallen through the catwalk to the water below. (The Reflex save to avoid the wire would have been DC 12 if moving slowly, DC 15 if at normal speed, and DC 18 if you had been moving quickly. But you saw it and you were not tripped.)
You can walk around the weakened area and continue. Do you want to leave the tripwire or take it? You don't have any ranks in craft, do you? Or similar knowledge ranks?

Yeah, unfortunately due to Blogger's popularity there are times when it slows down because of high traffic. Most of the time you can wait a few minutes and the bottleneck will clear up. But, that's also why I write my posts offline and then do the copy-paste runaround.
