Here in this famous sequence, the sound is ambient and diegetic - the sound used to indicate the shark is a motif (a repeated pattern of a sequence of notes/phrase of music - like James Bond's theme) and the movement of the music and the camera mimic the movement of the shark. The use of no non-diegetic music around and after the attack (when all you hear is the ambient sound of the sea, the bell tolling - and silence) is still stunningly effective, even now.
