With only 24 hours to live, and the caveat "financial means to do whatever you wanted," I would assume that whatever I wanted would be readily available by the time I reached my final 24. With only 24 hours to live, that's free reign to partake in anything risky, as long as it's worth it.
I've had an interest in marine biology. I'd use my funds to purchase a deep sea submersible vehicle and crash course through its basic operation, then proceed to depths unexplored to man. The vehicle must be equipped with video and photographic devices and feeds, and perhaps a few specimen recovery containers. There won't really be any provisions for vehicle recovery, though any data recorded will be retrievable.
My main goal would be to document everything I see down there, the environment, the fauna, etc. I couldn't guarantee that I'd find something new, but hell, I'll try,
Once everything's ready, I'd go on a one way trip down, recording my findings and transmitting them to the surface. That can be accomplished using detacheable beacons with onboard harddrives, which would be pressure-protected and fully water sealed, in addition to having signaling devices that would allow researchers to locate them. If I die down there, well then, the sea will be my grave and the sub my casket.
As for the knife name: the Magnum GunHammer.
