The present disclosure provides an apparatus and method for cleaning rock debris when deep-water surface drilling is done. The apparatus for cleaning rock debris when deep-water surface drilling is done comprises: an open barrel having an open through groove which is axially provided; a plurality of debris cleaning mechanisms connected to the open barrel at an interval in a circumferential direction of the open barrel, wherein each of the debris cleaning mechanisms comprises: a fixed block connected to an outer wall of the open barrel; a debris cleaning leg having one end rotatably connected to the fixed block, and the other end provided with a debris cleaning impeller; and a pull rod having one end connected to the outer wall of the open barrel above the fixed block, and the other end movably connected to the debris cleaning leg. The present disclosure not only cleans a large amount of rock debris accumulated around the seabed surface conduit while drilling is done in the deep-water surface drilling process, but also achieves the purpose of continuous working in the deep-water surface drilling process, without the need of frequent tripping in and out in midway to adjust the position of the apparatus for cleaning rock debris when deep-water surface drilling is done.
